Real questions from people like you, and how brain volumetry helps answer them.
Is my memory still as strong as it used to be?

The hippocampus is important for memory. The scan measures its volume compared with people of your age; how well your memory works is assessed with cognitive tests.
How can I keep doing the things I love for years to come?

The putamen is one of several brain areas involved in movement. The scan measures its volume; it does not assess balance or gait.
Is my forgetfulness something to worry about?

Occasional forgetfulness is part of normal aging, but structural changes in the hippocampus or gray matter can sometimes explain why memory feels less sharp.
Am I aging faster than I should?

Your brain's structure naturally changes with age. MRI volumetry measures those changes precisely and compares them to your age group.
