High-resolution MRI measurement of entorhinal cortex volume in healthy adults

Objective To obtain the normal reference values of entorhinal cortex the volume in healthy Chinese adults, and to analyze the correlations of entorhinal cortex volume and ages and genders. Methods MRI data of 100 healthy Chinese adults were extracted from the large-scale Chinese adult brain MRI database and divided into 5 groups according to the ages, i.e.18-30 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, 51-60 years and 61-70 years groups, each including 10 males and 10 females. The boundaries of entorhinal cortex were manually traced, and the volume of entorhinal cortex was automatically measured by three-dimensional volume analysis software. The volumes of entorhinal cortex were compared among different groups, also between genders and sides, and then correlation analysis of the volume of entorhinal cortex and age was carried out. Results After corrected, entorhinal cortex volume in males and females was (2 057.3±385.1)mm³ and (2 242.9±398.5)mm³, respectively, in males was smaller than in females (t=-2.357, P=0.020). There was no significant difference of entorhinal cortex volumes among different age groups nor between different sides (both P>0.05). There was no correlation between the volume of entorhinal cortex and aging (P>0.05). Conclusion The normal reference values of entorhinal cortex volume in healthy Chinese adults were obtained. The volume of entorhinal cortex was not lateralized, and entorhinal cortex didn''t atrophy with aging.
