Quantification of the Human Lateral Geniculate Nucleus In Vivo Using MR Imaging Based on Morphometry: Volume Loss with Age

Abstract

Using our new technique, we were able to reliably determine the human LGN volume in vivo, which was found to decline with age. The volumes obtained by our method corresponded well with previously reported postmortem values, so our method may be considered to be superior for investigating the pathology of LGN.
