Abstract

This paper has developed a system for early diagnosis of senile dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by developing software to measure the volume of hippocampus. This software consists of two parts; segmentation and analysis. The segmentation part uses ROI and region growing to segment hippocampus region. On the other hand, the analysis part creates a volume rendering of hippocampus. This software is expected contribute in these research fields for dementia diagnosis and its medication planning.
