White matter damage in Alzheimer's disease assessed in vivo using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging

Objective: To investigate the extent and the nature of white matter tissue damage of patients with Alzheimer's disease using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI). Background: Although Alzheimer's disease pathology mainly affects cortical grey matter, previous pathological a...
