Cerebral cortex perfusion rates in dementia

Cerebral cortex perfusion rates in dementia.

Cerebral cortex perfusion rates (CPR) were measured in 11 patients with dementia. In six patients the dementia appeared to be due to a primary neuronal degeneration and in the remainder it appeared to be secondary to vascular disease. In the context of blood flow measurement, it is suggested that the terms primary and secondary dementia are preferable to the terms presenile and senile dementia,...

Comparing cerebral perfusion in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia: an ASL-MRI study.

Emerging evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) share neurodegenerative mechanisms. We sought to directly compare cerebral perfusion in these two conditions using arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL-MRI). In total, 17 AD, 20 PDD, and 37 matched healthy controls completed ASL and structural MRI, and comprehensive neuropsychologic...
