Brain atrophy occurs in the late stage of dementia, yet structural MRI is widely used in the work-up.

We hypothesized that the availability of a quantitative volumetric brain MRI report would increase neuroradiologists' accuracy in diagnosing AD, FTD, or healthy controls compared with visual assessment.
