Interest in hippocampus increased sharply after his significance in the process of learning and retention of information was published. In particular, considerable interest was in its volume changes and their effect on Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the structure and function hippocampus would contribute to a more accurate diagnosis of this disease. In this work was created a method of hippocampal segmentation using active contours. With its help, the data composed of both healthy and a diseased patients was segmented and the results were then statistically analyzed using statistical methods such as Kruskal-Walis test, Mann-Whitney test. The level of significance given by results of analysis supports alternative hypothesis that attaches significance of the difference in volume of the hippocampus between studied groups.
