NeuroQuant software is used in conjunction with MRI to scan the brain in a very specific sequence. Using this tool, we can measure regional brain structures that are at risk when injury or brain function is in decline. The NeuroQuant software provides calculated data measurements which are then compared to same-age peers. NeuroQuant was the first volumetric MRI application to use an FDA approved database of normative data. Using this database as a comparison, we can begin to assess cognitive function with exceptional accuracy. Like MRI, NeuroQuant is painless and does not use radiation.
