Abstract

Magnetic resonance images of patients with Alzheimer disease and healthy volunteers. Hippocampal volumetry and MTA score evaluated as a diagnostic tools in Alzheimer disease.

We have observed positive correlation between relatively precise hippocampal volumetry and naked eye estimation of MTA - decrease in hippocampal volume is accompanied by increase in MTA score, which marks greater temporal lesion of the brain
