Man Versus Machine: Comparison of Radiologists’ Interpretations and NeuroQuant® Volumetric Analyses of Brain MRIs in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury

Publication: The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences

Abstract

NeuroQuant® is a recently developed, FDA-approved software program for measuring brain MRI volume in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to compare NeuroQuant with the radiologist’s traditional approach, based on visual inspection, in 20 outpatients with mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Each MRI was analyzed with NeuroQuant, and the resulting volumetric analyses were compared with the attending radiologist’s interpretation. The radiologist’s traditional approach found atrophy in 10.0% of patients; NeuroQuant found atrophy in 50.0% of patients. NeuroQuant was more sensitive for detecting brain atrophy than the traditional radiologist’s approach.
