In this article, several advanced connected transformations from mathematical morphology for computational neuroanatomy applications are developed. In particular, brain is separated from the skull in MRI T 1 using morphological connected openings. The use of connected transformations allow the preservation of regions, without introduce new information. As a result, the segmented brains preserve by complete information of the original images being more reliable for the specialist who deals with information such as white and gray matter. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
