Regional Atrophy analysis of structural magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the brain may provide quantitative evidence of different neurodegenerative diseases. This paper proposes an approach for early detection of Alzheimer disease (AD) by locating the atrophy in the brain. The paper proposes an automated computer aided system to for differential diagnosis of different neurodegenerative disease...

Many diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer, are often referred age-related diseases. The main causes of these diseases remarkably similar to the that can lead aging. Consequently, one would think aging should be considered a health problem rather than natural process needs monitored cured. literature indicates there many factors likely cause aging, but efforts reverse, stop, or slow may comple...

Differential diagnosis between Lewy body disease and Alzheimer´s disease might be difficult because of similarities of clinical symptoms in both neurodegenerative diseases. DatSCAN is a modern functional neuroimmaging method which differentiates between this similar diseases and helps in correct treatment strategy. We report our positive experience with DatSCAN in differentiating Lewy body dise...

Cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer disease are common diseases of aging and frequently coexist in the same brain. Accumulating evidence suggests that the presence of brain infarction, including silent infarction, influences the course of Alzheimer disease. Conversely, there is evidence that -amyloid can impair blood vessel function. Vascular -amyloid deposition, also known as cerebral amyloi...
