  1. Detection of Alzheimer's Disease using cortical diffusion tensor imaging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Human brain mapping 2020-11-11 Brain scans and imaging

    The aim of this research was to test a novel in-vivo brain MRI analysis method that could be used in clinical cohorts to investigate cortical architecture changes in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

  2. Diffusion tensor imaging of white matter degeneration in Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2014-02-27 Tau biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) has traditionally been regarded as a disease of the gray matter (GM).

  3. A meta-analysis of diffusion tensor imaging in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2010-07-08 Brain scans and imaging

    We reviewed case-control studies of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in order to establish the relative severity and location of white matter microstructural changes.

  4. Ultrahigh-resolution microstructural diffusion tensor imaging reveals perforant path degradation in aged humans in vivo

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2010-06-28 Brain scans and imaging

    The perforant path (PP) undergoes synaptic changes in the course of aging and dementia.

  5. Diffusion tensor imaging of the brain: review of clinical applications

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroradiology 2004-04-21 Brain scans and imaging

    We review the theoretical background to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and some of its commoner clinical applications, such as cerebral ischemia, brain maturation and traumatic brain injury.
