Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to optimize and standardize the analysis method for the longitudinal brain image evaluation for dementia. Neurostat program was used for 3D-SSP analyses. As the index for the evaluation, A)posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and B)PCC+ parietal and tempotal lobes showed relatively small sample size for the detection of the changes over time. However, these values seem to be large for the clinical trials of the new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. Further investigation is required.
