## Abstract ## __Background:__ Histopathological studies and animal models suggest that hippocampal subfields may be differently affected by aging, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and other diseases. Highβresolution images at 4 Tesla depict details of the internal structure of the hippocampus allowing f
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging was employed to study 10 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and seven healthy elderly control subjects. Coronal sections were used to make volumetric measurements of the hippocampus, ventricles, subarachnoid space, and brain parenchyma. The hippocampal vo
The extent of regional atrophy in ten patients, aged 52-74 years, dying with Alzheimer's disease uncomplicated pathologically by the effects of advanced old age or cerebrovascular disease, was quantified by image analysis of fixed coronal brain slices. Atrophy of the cerebral cortex was globally dis
