As the interest in the computer-aided, quantitative analysis of medical image data is growing, the need for the validation of such techniques is also increasing. Unfortunately, there exists no `ground truth' or gold standard for the analysis of in vivo acquired data. These pages provide a solution to the validation problem, in the form of a Simulated Brain Database (SBD). The SBD contains a set of realistic MRI data volumes produced by an MRI simulator. These data can be used by the neuroimaging community to evaluate the performance of various image analysis methods in a setting where the truth is known.
