Fig. 13.1 (a) MRI (T1) images of bvFTD. The axial (left) and coronal (right) images demonstrate frontotemporal atrophy. (b) The result of VSRAD analysis (normal healthy volunteers vs. bvFTD individual)….
Fig. 12.1 A comparison of z-scores between AD and DLB using VSRAD Among subcortical structures, atrophy of the substantia innominata (including the nucleus basalis of Meynert) [11] and dorsal midbrain…
Fig. 1.1 Prevalence of early-onset dementia in terms of 5-year age strata Oddly, the response rate was exactly the same in two surveys in Japan [1, 2]. It is also…
Fig. 3.1 Subfield segmentation from high-resolution T2-weighted image. Automatic volumetry is possible in hippocampal subfields and adjacent cortical subregions. CA cornu ammonis, DG dentate gyrus, SUB subiculum, ERC entorhinal cortex,…

Fig. 5.1 Analysis using the tract-based method. Tractographies were drawn using diffusion-weighted images (EPI imaging: TR/TE, 2300/122 ms; b = 1000 s/mm2; 6-axis encoding). Tractographies of the inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus…
Fig. 6.1 Schematic description of ASL perfusion imaging. Labeled images are obtained when labeled arterial blood with inverted magnetization reaches the brain tissue in the imaging plane, while control images…
