Shrinkage of the frontal and temporal lobes, which govern behavior, language, and personality. MRI detects this regional volume loss, a hallmark of frontotemporal dementia.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for brain frontotemporal atrophy and hundreds of other conditions.
The volume of the left parietal lobe, which processes sensory information about the surrounding environment, spatial orientation, navigation, and some language functions.
Occipital lobe abs. volume (left)The volume of the left occipital lobe, primarily responsible for visual processing. Reductions may affect visual perception and recognition.
Hippocampus volumeThe hippocampus is crucial for memory formation and spatial navigation. Atrophy of the hippocampus is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and can also occur in other forms of dementia. It is associated with memory loss and disorientation.
Gray matter volumeRepresents the percentage or ratio of gray matter volume to total intracranial volume. This metric helps identify disproportionate gray matter loss that exceeds normal aging or is inconsistent with head size, potentially indicating neurodegenerative processes.
Frontal lobe volume (left)Normalized volume of the left frontal lobe relative to total intracranial volume. This proportional measurement allows comparison between individuals with different head sizes and helps assess selective frontal atrophy that might affect executive function, personality, and motor control on the right side of the body.
Frontal lobe abs. volume (left)The volume of the left frontal lobe, which is involved in executive functions, attention, working memory, and personality. Volume changes may correlate with cognitive status.
Cortical gray matter volumeNormalized cortical gray matter volume relative to total intracranial volume, allowing for standardized assessment of cortical tissue across individuals with different head sizes.
Caudate volumeNormalized volume of the caudate nucleus relative to total intracranial volume, allowing for meaningful comparisons between individuals with different head sizes. This proportional measurement helps identify caudate-specific changes that may indicate neurodegenerative disorders affecting executive function and movement control.
Brain volumeThe ratio of total brain volume to total intracranial volume. This value typically decreases with age as brain atrophy progresses. Accelerated decline in this ratio beyond age-expected norms may suggest pathological brain volume loss.
