- Guideline
- Taken from Eekers DBP, Di Perri D, Roelofs E, Postma A, Dijkstra J, Ajithkumar T, et al. Update of the EPTN atlas for CT- and MR-based contouring in Neuro-Oncology. Radiother Oncol 2021;160:259–65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radonc.2021.05.013.
- Method
- Manual. Each amygdala should be contoured separately. The amygdala is an olive-shaped gray matter structure located in the anteromedial part of the temporal lobe and measuring 1–2 cm3. It is bounded anteriorly and medially by the cortex of the temporal lobe and posteriorly and inferiorly by the temporal horn of the lat- eral ventricle and by the hippocampus. The amygdala is separated from the hippocampus by a thin layer of white matter known as the alveus. Laterally, the amygdala is bordered by the white fibres of the temporal lobe.
