A linear measure of medial temporal lobe

   The third method was a linear measure of medial temporal lobe width that used the centimeter-distance scale of images that have the midpoint of the rostral caudal extent of the hippocampal formation at each side.

    This linear measure of the narrowest point of the medial temporal lobes adjacent to the brain stem used the procedure described by Jobst et al. (1998,1992). Image was accessed via the Internet, and measures were entered electronically over the web.
