Automated segmentation with Freesurfer to obtain regional cortical thickness and hippocampal volumes. Axial image from the 3D T1 magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence (A), with overlaid pial boundary (B) for cortical thickness estimation and volumetric segmentation (C).
