Study Using Structural MRI May Help Accurately Diagnose Dementia Patients Jul 18, 2009
In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers developed a framework for MRI-based differential diagnosis of three common neurodegenerative disorders: Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and Lewy body disease using Structural MRI.

The framework, which is called "STructural Abnormality iNDex" or STAND-Map, shows promise in accurately diagnosing... (Science Daily)
