Automatic MRI Volumetry Assisted Visual Assessment of the Medial Temporal Lobe in Clinical Dementia Work-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Efficient and cost-effective diagnostic tools for supporting dementia assessment are increasingly important. We aimed to evaluate whether providing neuroradiologists with volumetric data from an automatic MRI software, NeuroQuant, enhanced the diagnostic accuracy of their visual MRI assessment.

Methods

Two neuroradiologists assessed brain MRIs from 366 patients (mean age 67.5 years, SD 9.2, and 52% females) with subjective cognitive decline (SCD, n 79), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n 86), or dementia (n 201). The MCI and dementia patients were further diagnosed according to an etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD, n 217) versus non-AD (n 70). In random order the neuroradiologists visually evaluated medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA, scale 0-4) with and without
