This study shows a relationship between anorexia nervosa and brain volume which is measured with MRI.

Key points:

• Automated brain segmentation based on 3-D MRI seems to reliably estimate brain volume.
• This technique detected brain atrophy in patients suffering from anorexia nervosa.
• Brain changes in anorexia nervosa can be quantitatively and qualitatively followed-up by MRI.
