Application of Functional and Diffusion Tensor Mri for Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease
Keywords:
literature review, dementia, Alzheimer's diseaseAbstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among neurodegenerative diseases. New advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques, such as functional (fMRI) and diffusion tensor (DT-MRI) imaging, allow assessment of brain tissue changes in AD at microstructural and functional levels and can be used in the diagnosis of this pathological process at early stages of cognitive impairment.
