  2. E-Poster #3754 -High resolution MRI at 21.1 T of the hippocampus and temporal lobe white matter in the differential classification of Alzheimer’s Disease & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder Hypothesis High resolution quantitative MRI performed at high magnetic fields can provide novel pathological information about differential neurodegeneration in LBD and AD related to structural alterations and iron accumulation.

  3. E-Poster #3754 -High resolution MRI at 21.1 T of the hippocampus and temporal lobe white matter in the differential classification of Alzheimer’s Disease & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder Differentiation of dementia • 4.6 million new cases of dementia worldwide annually • Two most common types: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder (DLBD) • Characteristics: irreversible, progressive, affects mostly males 60 years and older • Symptoms: decline of cognitive functions (learning & memory, language etc.)

E-Poster #3754 -High resolution MRI at 21.1 T of the hippocampus and temporal lobe white matter in the differential classification of Alzheimer’s Disease & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder * * * * * * * * * * * * Average T2 and T2* times of the HC * Indicates statistical significance in a one-way ANOVA with LSD test (p<0.05)

  5. E-Poster #3754 -High resolution MRI at 21.1 T of the hippocampus and temporal lobe white matter in the differential classification of Alzheimer’s Disease & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder Conclusions • T2 and T2* quantification of temporal lobe substructures proves a useful measure for the differential diagnosis of AD and DLBD. • In addition, ADC shows significant differences between AD and Controls. • Most promising biomarkers are the parahipocampal gyrus and temporal lobe white matter, which showed differing group patterns of T2 and T2*. • Lower T2 and T2* relaxation in the PHG is more likely a LBD case compared to either AD or normals whereas, higher T2 and T2* values in the white matter would more likely coincides with AD. • T2 times significantly correlated with vacuolation, which is not a pathologic entity, but does reflect the loss of cells or neuropils.

  6. E-Poster #3754 -High resolution MRI at 21.1 T of the hippocampus and temporal lobe white matter in the differential classification of Alzheimer’s Disease & Diffuse Lewy Body Disorder Take Home Summary • AD classification correlates with increased T2/T2* and ADC for all deviations from control while DLBD correlates with decreased relaxivity Acknowledgements • The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory • FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Funding provided by: • FSU (CRC-MDS) • NHMFL (NSF DMR-0084173)
