The need for early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease is gathering importance with the prospect of disease-modifying therapy. Medial temporal lobe atrophy on MRI is a characteristic, early and predictive feature of the disease. A new visual rating system has been proposed to facilitate assessment of such atrophy in routine clinical practice.
