Reliable in vivo identification of human hippocampal
(Hc) subfields remains a significant challenge. Here, we
quantified human Hc subfields along the transverse axis
at an unprecedented resolution (0.4 x 0.4 x 0.1 mm).
Subfield volumes in 12 healthy adults yielded
distributions consistent with histological data, whereas
volumes were significantly reduced in three adults with
bilateral hippocampal amnesia. Dice indices were high,
indicating that the protocol was suited to reliable
delineation of Hc subfields in health and in disease.
The results demonstrate that in vivo 3D-FSE 7.0-Tesla
neuroimaging can be administered to test whether Hc
pathology is manifest in specific subfields.
