Abstract:
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can detect the integrity of white matter in vivo, through which various white matter damages of the brains have been found in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), even mild cognitive impairment. These damages of white matter may relate to the impairment of cognitive function, otherwise, damages in various area may result in various clinical features. DTI may fur-ther be used in the study of AD development and therapeutic evaluation.
