We investigate haemodynamic changes in Alzheimers Disease (AD) and how this relates to resting state network (RSN) activity. Using Arterial Spin Labelling at multiple post-label delay times we assess cerebral blood flow and tissue transit time changes in AD patients and an age-matched healthy control (HC) group. CBF is found to be reduced in AD compared to the HC group, with a trend for increased in TTT. In the default mode network (DMN) nodes of the inferior parietal lobe (IPL) a significant reduction in CBF is found. However, changes in CBF were not linked to altered network activity.
