Brain volume calculations are crucial in modern medical research, especially
in the study of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this paper, we present an
algorithm for calculating two classifications of brain volume, total brain
volume (TBV) and intracranial volume (ICV). Our algorithm takes MRI data as
input, performs several preprocessing and intermediate steps, and then returns
each of the two calculated volumes. To simplify this process and make our
algorithm publicly accessible to anyone, we have created a web-based interface
that allows users to upload their own MRI data and calculate the TBV and ICV
for the given data. This interface provides a simple and efficient method for
calculating these two classifications of brain volume, and it also removes the
need for the user to download or install any applications.
