Naoki Kodama PhD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Yasuhiro Kawase MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To describe cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 2. To explain the voxel-based MR imaging of patients with MCI. 3. To explain the difference in gray matter atrophy of the conversion and non-conversion from MCI to Alzheimer's disease based on 63 cases found in our hospital.   

1. Appreciate MCI on brain MR images. 2. A method of voxel-based MR imaging on cases with MCI. 3. Review cases with the conversion and non-conversion to Alzheimer's disease from MCI. 4. Results of voxel-based morphological changes with MCI. 5. Predict conversion to Alzheimer's disease from MCI. 6. Summary
