Comparison of the Brain Volume in Essential @entity400 and @entity191 XXXX Using an Automated Segmentation Method.

@entity1 @entity16 @entity191 @entity1010 @entity400 @entity179 @entity194 @entity76
BACKGROUND: Essential @entity400 (ET) and @entity191 ( @entity191 ) are common @entity16 in elderly @entity1 , and some features of ET and @entity191 may overlap. Quantitative analysis of @entity1010 may be useful in differentiating @entity179 . The aim of this study was to identify the volumetric differences of subcortical structures in @entity1 with ET and @entity191 @entity400 using an automated segmentation method. METHODS: Volumetric MRIs were obtained in 45 @entity1 with ET, 45 @entity1 with @entity191 @entity400 , and 45 age- and sex-matched control subjects. The volume of the different brain structures was measured by the automated segmentation method (FreeSurfer). RESULTS: Volumetric data obtained with automated segmentation of cerebral regions showed a significant @entity194 of the cerebellum in @entity1 with ET. @entity76 of ET @entity1 was more significant in the white matter than in the grey matter, and it was noted only in @entity1 with ET having a head @entity400 . No volumetric differences were found between the @entity191 group and the control group. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that volumetric differences in subcortical structures using whole brain segmentation method may help to differentiate ET from @entity191 @entity400 .    2015 S.
