2024年7月11日 · The MTA score is a visual score performed on MRI of the brain using coronal T1 weighted images in a plane parallel to the brainstem axis and through the hippocampus at the level of the anterior pons 5. The score is also validated for assessment on CT brain 6.

The MTA score, published by Scheltens and colleagues in 1992 [4], is a simple measure by which mesiotemporal atrophy can be quantified. Using the width of the choroidal fissure, temporal horn, and height of the hippocampal formation, atrophy is evaluated in five grades (0–4).

Diagram depicting progressive cerebral atrophy assessed by the medial temporal lobe atrophy score.

To find cut-off values for different medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) measures (right, left, average, and highest), accounting for gender and education, investigate the association with cognitive performance, and to compare with decline of cognitive function over 5 years in a large population-based cohort.

Visual rating of medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) is often performed in conjunction with dementia workup. Most prior studies involved patients with known or probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study investigated the validity and …

2014年2月21日 · The MTA-score (Scheltens) should be rated on coronal T1-weighted images. on a slice through the corpus of the hippocampus (level of the anterior pons). The scale is based on a visual score of the width of the choroid fissure, the width of the temporal horn, and the height of the hippocampal formation.

2021年7月24日 · MTA can be considered a valid marker of medial temporal lobe atrophy and may thus be valuable in the assessment of patients with cognitive impairment, even in a heterogeneous patient population. The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is an early affected site for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related neurodegeneration [1].

2021年9月11日 · MTA scale, first proposed by Scheltens et al. to measure MTA, is a 5-point scale of 0–4, based on a visual analysis of the width of the choroidal fissure, temporal horn, and height of the hippocampal formation [8].

2017年1月12日 · We defined decade-specific MTA cut-off values that best discriminate between AD and subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) using CT scans with visual rating of MTA.

2021年10月2日 · This study encourages and supports the potential role of MTA score and CT scan in the field of neurodegenerative disorder research and diagnosis.
