MRI findings suggest structural, functional and
metabolic alterations in chronic alcoholics. However,
very few studies specifically sought to examine the
alterations in associated hemodynamic or paramagnetic
properties (as reflected by T2 relaxation times (T2-RT))
in this population. Thus, we carried out a T2
relaxometry study on alcohol dependents and control
subjects .Alcohol dependent subjects showed increased T2
relaxation times in different brain regions suggestive
of tissue disruption in these individuals which could,
in part, be responsible for impaired cognitive
abilities.
