Muhammad Ayaz M.S. Wayne State University Biomedical Engineering Dept. MRI institute Correlating Phase with Iron Deposition in Alzheimer Disease Recently Graduated
Introduction • Role of Iron in Alzheimer disease • Purpose of this project • Iron deposition in different areas of brain
Conclusion • After studying 75 subjects, we have found that the variation in phase follows a Gaussian statistics with a standard deviation of 30 units. Therefore, if we find a subject whose values fall below 3 standard deviations (90 units) of the mean, then these areas might be considered abnormal or high in iron contents.
Future Directions • Rescanning and data analysis of subjects • Keeping track of any phase variations
