...) and dementia (AUC = 0.98). However, the FA profile varied significantly not only between diagnostic groups but also between Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites. Conclusion: Findings suggest that diffusion tensor imaging markers may have a role in the neurodiagnostic process for detecting MCI and dementia...

... comprehensive neuropsychological tests, including the adapted version of the Cambridge Prospective Memory Test, as well as the Taiwan version of the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire. The diffusion tensor imaging technique with tract-based spatial statistics was applied to measure cerebral...

... value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of strategic white matter tracts in explaining variance in cognition in memory clinic patients with vascular brain injury. Methods: We included 159 patients. Conventional MRI markers (white matter hyperintensity volume, lacunes, nonlacunar infarcts, brain atrophy...

... (score ≤2; n = 27). Cross-sectional comparisons were performed using a region-of-interest-based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis, cortical thickness analysis, and hippocampal volumetry. Results: The high-risk group had more microstructural disruption shown by lower fractional anisotropy...

... play a role. We aimed to investigate the microstructural integrity of frontolimbic connectivity of specific fiber tracts in AD patients with and without depressive symptoms using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods: Eleven AD patients with depressive symptoms (dep-AD), 18 AD patients without...

... by diffusion tensor imaging. Methods: Twenty-five patients with AD and 20 normal controls underwent phase imaging and diffusion tensor imaging with a 3.0-tesla system. White matter fibers including fornix (Fx), genu of corpus callosum (GCC), splenium of corpus callosum (SCC), bilateral posterior cingulum (PC...

...Qun Xu; Yan Zhou; Yan-Sheng Li; Wen-Wei Cao; Yan Lin; Yuan-Mei Pan; Sheng-Di Chen Background/Aims: To investigate whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is more sensitive than conventional MRI at detecting cognitive deterioration in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD...

... to be limbic and paralimbic pathological processes. The uncinate fasciculus (UF) is especially considered to be a critical structure. In the present study, we investigated microstructural UF pathology by diffusion tensor imaging in the subjects with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and its...

...Bei Ding; Ke-Min Chen; Hua-Wei Ling; Huan Zhang; Wei-Min Chai; Xia Li; Tao Wang Background/Aims: To compare proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) findings in the posterior cingulate regions in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: 17...

... pathology is due to Wallerian degeneration and central angiopathy. However, in MCI patients, the presence and extent of white matter alterations as a possible correlate of impaired memory function and as predictor of subsequent progression to AD is not clarified yet. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reveals...
