Abstract
The use of hippocampal volumetry as a biomarker for Alzheimer s disease AD requires that tracers from different laboratories comply with the same segmentation method Here we present a platform for training and qualifying new tracers to perform the manual segmentation of the hippocampus on magnetic resonance images MRI following the European Alzheimer s Disease Consortium and Alzheimer s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative EADC ADNI Harmonized Protocol HarP Our objective was to demonstrate that the training process embedded in the platform leads to increased compliance and qualification with the HarP
