In this study, it was aimed to examine the brain regions of Huntington's patients by performing brain parcellation. Material and Method: 8 controls and 8 Huntington's patients participated in the study. We measured four Diffusion Tensor Imaging metrics which were axial diffusivity, mean diffusivity, radial diffusivity and fractional anisotropy performing brain parcellation over Diffusion Tensor Imaging for control and patient groups. We used a full automated data-driven approach to study the whole brain, divided in regions of interest using mricloud. Results: When the huntington disease group compared to control group, We found that mean diffusivity and axial diffusivity increased frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, corpus callosum, white matter, limbic and subcortical structures, and radial diffusivity increased corpus callosum, capsula interna (p KW - Huntington disease KW - neurodegenerative disease KW - brain KW - magnetic resonance imaging CR - MacDonald ME, Ambrose CM, Duyao MP, et al.
