Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Synthetic Aperture Magnetometry (fMRI-SAM) and Alzheimer's Disease
Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Summary
The aim of the protocol is to study the resting brain activation profile of 3 groups of people, using a new fMRI procedure, called fMRI-SAM. fMRI-SAM will be applied to 25 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, 25 patients suffering from amnestic - mild cognitive impairment (MCI) - a clinical picture which may be a prodromal form of AD - and 60 healthy controls. The first analysis of the data will search differences of brain activation profiles between the 3 groups. In the second step, the investigators will study the predictive value of fMRI-SAM to detect MCI patients who will later convert to AD.
Official title: Evaluation of fMRI-SAM in the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease.
