Potential Role of Diffusion Tensor MRI in the Differential Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

Diffusion tensor imaging is a promising technique for the evaluation of patients with probable mild cognitive impairment. Early detection of the disease expands the treatment options, increasing the likelihood of a good clinical response and enhancing the quality of life of patients and their relatives. Further studies with larger populations are needed to confirm the role of diffusion tensor imaging in the evaluation of memory impairment.
