Cognitive decline in old age is tightly linked with brain atrophy, causing significant burden. It is critical to identify which biomarkers are most predictive of cognitive decline and brain atrophy in the elderly. In 566 older adults from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), we used a novel unsupervised machine learning approach to evaluate an extensive list of more than 200 potential...
In a previous report, we proposed a method for combining multiple markers of atrophy caused by Alzheimer's disease into a single atrophy score that is more powerful than any one feature. We applied the method to expansion rates of the lateral ventricles, achieving the most powerful ventricular atrophy measure to date. Here, we expand our method's application to tensor-based morphometry measures. We...
We propose a new method to maximize biomarker efficiency for detecting anatomical change over time in serial MRI. Drug trials using neuroimaging become prohibitively costly if vast numbers of subjects must be assessed, so it is vital to develop efficient measures of brain change. A popular measure of efficiency is the minimal sample size (n80) needed to detect 25% change in a biomarker, with 95% confidence...
