Magnetic resonance scanning and image segmentation procedure at 3 T for volumetry of human hippocampal subfields

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that dementia affects hippocampal substructures differentially and thus identifying anatomical details of this structure is potentially clinically important. Visualising details of human hippocampal substructures in vivo is challenging by imaging due to the small size of the medial temporal lobe structure. METHODS: MRI data were acquired with a 3 T MR scanner using a 2D multi-echo spin echo pulse sequence at...
