Objective . To compare diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) measures in different anatomic regions of the brain in patients with an isolated Alzheimer's disease (AD) and patients with AD and small-vessel disease (SVD). Material and methods. 20 AD patients, aged 66 (±10), of whom 11 AD patients had an isolated neurodegenerative process and 9 patients, who were diagnosed with AD+SVD, were examined.
