The aim is to compare hippocampal volumes across Alzheimer's disease and other dementing conditions.
Compared hippocampal volumes in 113 subjects: 50 AD, 9 VaD, 12 PD without dementia, 8 PDD, and 34 controls.
Used 1.5-T MRI to obtain thin coronal contiguous images for volumetric analysis.
Measured and analyzed hippocampal volumes across different patient groups.
All patient groups had significantly smaller hippocampal volumes compared to controls.
In the PDD group, hippocampal volumes were smaller than in the AD group.
VaD patients showed variable atrophy; two had no atrophy, three had unilateral, and four had bilateral atrophy.
