Medial temporal lobe atrophy cut-off scores as Alzheimer’s marker

 

The objective of this paper is to test medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) cut-off scores and to assess its use for routine clinical practice as markers for Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Key points:

• We suggest decade-specific MTA cut-off scores for AD.
• MTA cut-off after the age of 85 years has limited use.
• CT is feasible and accurate for visual MTA rating
