In this study, we suggested statistical method to effectively distinguish the signal of AP from phase noise on MR-phase image resulting in reducing scan duration for clinical application of diagnosis of AD. Phase Difference Enhanced Imaging-image of human brain showed dark rim sign expected as AP deposition but did not show background phase noise containing iron deposition due to aging by statistical noise elimination. Our method may be applicable for clinical image diagnosis for AD with reasonable scan duration less than 4 min.
