Notes:
This is an atlas set that can be used with ASHS-FAST VERSION 2.0 (July 2018) OR LATER software to perform automatic segmentation of medial temporal lobe substructures in 3 Tesla T1-weighted MRI (MPRAGE) scans explicitly accounting for the dura mater (which has similar intensity as gray matter in T1-weighted MRI that could confound automatic segmentation).

This atlas set was constructed from MRI scans acquired in research studies conducted at the Penn Memory Center at the University of Pennsylvania by David A. Wolk, Paul A. Yushkevich and colleagues. The scans have been segmented
manually by Long Xie and Laura Wisse based on the manual segmentations in the Penn Memory Center 3T ASHS Atlas for T2-weighted MRI (by John Pluta).



The atlas contains segmented scans of 29 older adults, 14 meeting the Peterson criteria for amnestic mild cognitive impairment, and 15 controls. Scans were acquired at 3 Tesla. The whole brain T1-weighted scans are at 1.0x1.0x1.0 mm3 resolution. The labels include anterior/posterior hippocampus, entorhinal cortex (ERC), perirhinal cortex (further divided into Brodmann areas 35 and 36, or BA35 and BA36), and parahippocampal cortex (PHC).
