Routinely:

MTA scales to describe hippocampal atrophy

GCA to describe amount of global atrophy per lobe as well as any asymmetry

White matter hyperintensity scales (the Fazekas or ARWMC) for burden of vascular pathology

Upon indication:

Posterior atrophy scale (the Koedam scale) (and other regional descriptors) (e.g. in suspected PCA and FTD)

GCA, global cortical atrophy; MTA, medial temporal atrophy; PCA, posterior cortical atrophy; FTD, frontotemporal dementia; ARWMC, age-related white matter changes
