Longitudinal magnetization transfer imaging in mild to severe Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MTI has been proposed as a sensitive technique for studying microstructural brain tissue changes in patients with AD, but the course of these changes over time is largely unknown. We therefore used a placebo-controlled study of memantine to follow the evolution of tissue damage in AD by means of MTR measurements and investigated how MTR changes were related to brain atrop...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer ratio in Alzheimer disease: comparison with volumetric measurements.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Alzheimer disease (AD) is accompanied by macroscopic atrophy on volumetric MR imaging. A few studies have also demonstrated reduction in magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), suggesting microstructural changes in remaining brain tissue. This study assessed the value of measuring MTR in addition to volumetric MR in differentiating patients with AD from control subjects. MA...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging Approach in Alzheimer disease. Part I: Structural MRI, Functional MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Magnetization Transfer Imaging
The authors make a complete review of the potential clinical applications of traditional and novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in the evaluation of patients with Alzheimer's disease, including structural MRI, functional MRI, diffusion tension imaging and magnetization transfer imaging.
متن کاملClassification of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease using model-based MR and magnetization transfer imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early stratification of degenerative processes is a prerequisite to warrant therapeutic options in prodromal Alzheimer disease. Our aim was to investigate differences in cerebral macromolecular tissue composition between patients with AD, mild cognitive impairment, and age- and sex-matched healthy controls by using model-based magnetization transfer with a binary spin-bat...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer imaging shows tissue abnormalities in the reversible penumbra.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the concept of ischemic penumbra, the volume of salvaged penumbra is considered as the volume of FLAIR normalization on follow-up MRI compared with early diffusion and perfusion abnormalities. Using magnetization transfer imaging, very sensitive to macromolecular disruption, we investigated whether FLAIR normalization was a good marker for tissue full recovery. METHO...
