Effects of donepezil on cortical activation in mild cognitive impairment: a pilot double-blind placebo-controlled trial using functional MR imaging
Petrella, J. R.,
Prince, S. E.,
Krishnan, S.,
Husn, H.,
Kelley, L.,
Doraiswamy, P. M.
Background and Purpose: Cholinesterase-inhibitor therapy is approved for treatment of Alzheimer disease; however, application in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is still under active investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of such therapy on the neural substrates underlying memory processing in subjects with MCI by using functional MR imaging […]
Voxel-based morphometry in individual patients: a pilot study in early Huntington disease
Mühlau, M.,
Wohlschläger, A. M.,
Gaser, C.,
Valet, M.,
Weindl, A.,
Nunnemann, S.,
Peinemann, A.,
Etgen, T.,
Ilg, R.
Background and Purpose: Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) has proved a powerful method to detect subtle changes of gray matter (GM) at the group level but the role of VBM for the detection of GM changes in single subjects, especially in those with suspected neurodegenerative disorder, remains uncertain. Here, we performed single subject analyses in 22 patients […]
Magnetization transfer imaging in premanifest and manifest huntington disease: a 2-year follow-up
van den Bogaard, S. J. A.,
Dumas, E. M.,
Hart, E. P.,
Milles, J.,
Reilmann, R.,
Stout, J. C.,
Craufurd, D.,
Gibbard, C. R.,
Tabrizi, S. J.,
van Buchem, M. A.,
van der Grond, J.,
Roos, R. A. C.
Background and Purpose: MTI is a quantitative MR imaging technique that has recently demonstrated structural integrity differences between controls and patients with HD. Potentially, MTI can be used as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression. To establish the value of MTI as a biomarker, we aimed to examine the change in these measures during the […]
Evaluation of Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease with the use of neuromelanin MR imaging and (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy
Miyoshi, F.,
Ogawa, T.,
Kitao, S.- i.,
Kitayama, M.,
Shinohara, Y.,
Takasugi, M.,
Fujii, S.,
Kaminou, T.
Background and Purpose: Progressive changes in the substantia nigra pars compacta and locus ceruleus of patients with Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease visualized by neuromelanin MRI and cardiac postganglionic sympathetic nerve function on (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy have not been fully evaluated. We compared the diagnostic value of these modalities among patients with early Parkinson disease, late […]
Altered microstructure in corticospinal tract in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: comparison with Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease with dementia
Hattori, T.,
Yuasa, T.,
Aoki, S.,
Sato, R.,
Sawaura, H.,
Mori, T.,
Mizusawa, H.
Background and Purpose: Previous neuropathologic studies in chronic hydrocephalus have suggested the presence of white matter damage, presumably from mechanical pressure due to ventricular enlargement and metabolic derangement. This study aimed to investigate the diffusional properties of the CST in patients with iNPH by using DTI and to determine whether this method could be used […]
