Structural brain MRI is often performed to evaluate regional brain structure and atrophy in elderly subjects with cognitive impairment. In this study, 7T MRI was applied to 62 individuals 50 years and older (40 HIV+); an age-appropriate adult brain atlas was then used to segment and compare regional brain volumes as a function of age, HIV serostatus and neurocognitive classification.
