Pineal volume reduction in patients with mild cognitive impairment who converted to Alzheimer's disease

Aim Pineal parenchymal volume (PPV) reduction is one of the predisposing factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, PPV could be used as a predictor of developing AD in clinical settings. We investigated whether PPV in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was correlated with conversion of these patients to AD. Methods A total of 237 patients with MCI underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging. A two‐sample t ‐test was used to...
