Abstract

Tensor based morphometry [1] was used to detect statistically significant regions of neuroanatomical change over time in a comparison between 36 probable Alzheimer's Disease patients and 20 age- and sexmatched controls. Baseline and twelve-month repeat Magnetic Resonance images underwent tied spatial normalisation [10] and longitudinal high-dimensional warps were then estimated. Analyses involved univariate and multivariate data derived from the longitudinal deformation fields. The most prominent findings were expansion of the fluid spaces, and contraction of the hippocampus and temporal region. Multivariate measures were notably more powerful, and have the potential to identify patterns of morphometric difference that would be overlooked by conventional mass-univariate analysis.
