This NIH research grant funds the development of advanced diffusion MRI technology to detect early microstructural changes in the medial temporal lobe associated with Alzheimer's disease, aiming to create a noninvasive imaging biomarker for early neurodegeneration.
Description
Development of high-resolution and high-fidelity diffusion MRI acquisition technology tailored to the medial temporal lobe to provide noninvasive diagnostic markers sensitive to very early microstructural and connectivity changes in Alzheimer's disease.
