Abstract Introduction Cognitive tests and nonamyloid imaging biomarkers do not consistently identify preclinical AD. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, a cerebrovascular disease marker, is more associated with AD than conventional cognitive tests. Methods Elderly controls enrolled in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI, n = 158) underwent florbetapir‐PET scans, psychometric testing, neuroimaging MRI PET, APOE...
Background: Psychometric tests predict conversion of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to probable Alzheimer's disease (AD). Because the definition clinical AD relies on those same psychometric tests, ability these identify underlying pathology remains unclear. Objective: To d etermine degree which testing predicts molecular evidence amyloid pathology, as indicated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-β (Aβ)1 - 42, in patients with MCI, compared neuroimaging biomarkers. Methods: We identified...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the regions of hypoperfusion in patients with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and non-fluent/agrammatic (naPPA) using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) MRI. BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by focal atrophy frontal temporal cortex. Functional imaging has been proposed as method for measuring changes cerebral blood flow (CBF) that precede structural disease. PCASL MRI...
