A
lzheimer’s disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with growing incidence in the world. The US CDC estimates that nearly
15 million Americans will be diagnosed with the disease by the year 2050. Similar statistics are cited for EU, China and Latin
America. It has become a worldwide priority for primary care physicians to accurately evaluate the clinical presentations of their
patients and to identify early neuroimaging biomarkers associated with the disease for increased diagnostic certainty and improved
clinical management. Identifying the earliest neuroimaging biomarkers is becoming an essential and increasingly important role for
the neuroradiologist.
