The Utility of Age-Specific Cut-offs for Visual Rating of Medial Temporal Atrophy in classifying Alzheimer’s disease, MCI and Cognitively Normal Elderly Subjects

The Utility of Age-Specific Cut-offs for Visual Rating of Medial Temporal Atrophy in classifying Alzheimer’s disease, MCI and Cognitively Normal Elderly Subjects

Background: New research criteria for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the mild cognitive impairment stage (MCI-AD) incorporate biomarkers to assign a level of certainty to the diagnosis. Structural MRI is widely available but greatly under-utilized for assessing atrophy of structures affecte...
