| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the current study is to access the feasibility of diffusion tensor data for predicting the prognosis of Alzheimer disease. We evaluated the apparent diffusional coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of the uncinate fascicles for the cases in which follow up diffusion tensor study could be achieved for more than two years. We made analysis for correlation between diffusion tensor parameters and the MMSE. We also made analysis for correlation of the changes of these values. FA and ADC of uncinate fascicles showed statistically significant correlation with the MMSE score at the time point of imaging. These parameters also showed correlation with the MMSE score of the next year. FA and ADC of uncinate fascicles can be used in prediction for the severity of Alzheimer disease.
