+In this article, we employed a recently validated method (MALPEM) for robust cross-sectional and longitudinal segmentation of MR brain images from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Specifically, we segmented 5074 MR brain images into 138 anatomical regions and extracted time-point specific structural volumes and volume change during follow-up intervals of 12 or 24 months.
