Using Susceptibility Weighted Magnetic Resonance
Imaging, a significant increase in venous density was
found in subjects with Alzheimers Disease (AD). This
study used 37 suspected AD subjects and 16 healthy
age-matched controls. The venous density was found for
the whole brain, as well as the grey matter and white
matter. The subjects brains were registered to an AD
atlas and statistical testing was performed showing the
brain regions of greatest venous difference.
