IVIM-DWI was used to investigate early AD-related microstructural and functional changes. Significant differences were observed using IVIM biomarkers between healthy controls, MCI, and AD groups, while VBM showed differences only in later AD stages.
Voxel-based analysis for the F-statistics across groups for all analysis methods. VBM results are also shown uncorrected for family-wise error (FWE) in panel (a). For all other panels, we report clusters at a significance threshold of p-value < 0.05 corrected for FWE.
Voxel-based correlations between MoCA/Clock Draw/FAST and VBM/ADC/IVIM metrics. The plots, with the relative mean of R2, represent the correlations of the average values inside the significant clusters.
