Amygdala size in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis without dementia: an in vivo study using MRI volumetry
BACKGROUND Evidence for extra-motor involvement in non-demented patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been provided by multiple studies, in particular neuropathological studies have demonstrated neuronal loss in the amygdala. The aim of this study was to investigate possible alterations of amygdala volumes in vivo. METHODS Twenty-two moderately disabled patients with definite ...
متن کاملvolBrain: An Online MRI Brain Volumetry System
The amount of medical image data produced in clinical and research settings is rapidly growing resulting in vast amount of data to analyze. Automatic and reliable quantitative analysis tools, including segmentation, allow to analyze brain development and to understand specific patterns of many neurological diseases. This field has recently experienced many advances with successful techniques ba...
متن کاملBilateral MR volumetry of the amygdala in chronic PTSD patients.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients experience symptoms which implicate dysfunction of emotional memory circuits, and possible damage of the amygdala. Laterality differences in activity of the amygdala have been reported in PTSD patients, with presumed adaptive plasticity in the hippocampus and the amygdala. The aim of this study was to investigate possible interhemispheric difference...
متن کاملVolumetry of hippocampus and amygdala with high-resolution MRI and three-dimensional analysis software: minimizing the discrepancies between laboratories.
Within the medial temporal lobe, both the hippocampus and amygdala are frequently targeted by researchers and clinicians for volumetric analysis based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, different data acquisition techniques, analysis software and anatomical boundaries have in the past made it difficult to compare results of MRI studies from different laboratories. In order to reduce ...
متن کاملMR elastography and MRI volumetry of the aging brain
Background: Physiological aging of the brain is accompanied by ubiquitous degeneration of neurons and oligodendrocytes [1]. An alteration of the cellular matrix of an organ impacts its macroscopic viscoelastic properties, which are characterized by mechanical parameters such as stiffness and internal friction. To date Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is the only non-invasive technique for ...
