Longitudinal, region‐specific course of diffusion tensor imaging measures in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

Background Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising method for identifying significant cross‐sectional differences of white‐matter tracts in normal controls (NC) and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). There have not been many studies establishing its longitudinal utility. Methods Seventy‐five participants (25 NC, 25 amnestic MCI, and 25 AD) had 3‐Tesla MRI scans and clinical evaluations at baseline and...
