Abstract
In conclusion, we demonstrated reduced hippocampal stiffness and reduced hippocampal viscosity, as determined by MMRE, in patients with clinical diagnosis of dementia of the AD type. Diagnostic sensitivity was further improved by the combination with two other MRI-based hippocampal parameters. These findings motivate further investigation whether MMRE can detect decreased brain stiffness already in pre-dementia stages, and whether these changes predict cognitive decline.
