    Medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) scoring is crucial for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease using MRI and CT imaging.

  • 2

    Variability in MTA scoring arises from inconsistent cutoff values, anatomical planes, and subjective assessment by radiologists.

  • 3

    Inter-rater reliability for MTA scoring is often low, influenced by vague landmarks and subjective grading systems.

  • 4

    Publicly available MTA reference images are commonly used by radiologists, but they may lead to subjective comparisons rather than accurate measurements.

  • 5

    The study aims to objectively measure heights and areas in MTA images to assess congruency with displayed MTA scores.
