Images used in volume determination.
A, Coronal T2-weighted MR image.
B, Coronal intermediate-weighted MR image.
C, Segmentation image from A and B.
D, Feature space showing separation of CSF (blue), white matter (khaki), and gray matter (tan).
E, Close-up segmented image of the right temporal lobe depicts the hippocampus and five temporal gyri.
F, The red line indicates the length of WM from the base of the superior temporal sulcus to the base of rhinal sulcus and defines the temporal stem measurement. The linear distance (in centimeters) provided the basis for this measure, summed across all sections.
- Fig 2.
Bar graph shows hippocampal and temporal lobe gyral volumes, along with WM temporal stem measurements grouped by subjects’ ages (in years). The P values are based on analysis of variance comparisons across the decades in which significant changes may have occurred. Note the significant age effects on hippocampal volume and several gyral volumes, although considerable variability exists, as represented by the SD bars. All measures are in cubic centimeters3, with the exception of the temporal stem linear measure, which is in millimeters.
- Fig 3.
Bar graph shows sulcal CSF and temporal horn volumes grouped by subjects’ ages (in years). The P values indicate whether a significant change in volume by decade was present. The number on the bars are the SDs. Note the consistent and highly significant increases in CSF volumes (except for that of the left rhinal sulcus) with aging.
- Fig 4.
Bar graph shows the percentage of original volume retained in each temporal lobe structure, as determined by comparing the value in 16–25-year-old subjects with that in 56–72-year old subjects. Most structures, particularly the temporal WM stem, retain a large percentage of their original volume over time.
- Fig 5.
Scatterplots show total temporal gyral and sulcal volumes, hippocampal volumes, and temporal stem measurements, fitted with linear and quadratic functions. Note the greater variability in sulcal volume compared with the parenchymal measures. At statistical analysis, degrees of freedom for regression and residuals, respectively, were 2 and 251 for the linear function and 1 and 252 for the quadratic function. For each structure, values with the functions were as follows: total gyral volume, quadratic F = 4.35 and P ≤ .014, linear F = 7.97 and P ≤ .005; total sulcal volume, quadratic F = 14.09 and P ≤ .00001, linear F = 24.06 and P ≤ .00001; total hippocampal volume, quadratic F = 3.65 and P ≤ .03, linear F = 7.14 and P ≤ .008; and total WM, quadratic F = 1.2 and P ≤ .29, linear F = 1.41 and P ≤ .24. In each case, head size (total intracranial volume) and sex were used as covariates.

Bar graph shows the mean for volumes in the comparison of healthy control subjects and patients with TBI. In each case, TBI resulted in significant atrophy (P ≤ .01). The number on the bars are the SDs.
- Fig 7.
Graphs show the total WM measure in the temporal stem, hippocampal volume, and temporal horn volume. In each case, TBI resulted in significant atrophy (P ≤ .01). The bars indicate the SDs.
