ABSTRACT

The hippocampus is a structure located in the depths of the temporal lobe, extending the full length of the floor of the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle. This structure is involved in learning, memory, emotional behavior, and motor control, making it a focus of great interest. Hippocampal volumetry is an imaging method used to determine the volume of the hippocampus, to support diagnosis of certain disorders. The hippocampus can be segmented in several ways, ranging from manual to fully automated methods; however, the manual method remains the reference standard. There are several manual segmentation protocols, and efforts are being made to establish an international consensus on standardization of this method. The hippocampal volume is obtained using the three viewing planes of T1 weighted images in volumetric sequences. Hippocampal volume is an aid in diagnosis of epilepsy of the temporal lobe, Alzheimer’s disease, and mild amnesic cognitive disorder, among other conditions.
