The development of advanced MRI techniques has enabled noninvasive evaluation of subtle changes of brain architecture in dementia. We report a specific pattern of regional brain stiffness changes using Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) in three different dementia groups: Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and normal pressure hydrocephalus. MRE offers a potential biomarker to characterize the viscoelastic properties of the brain in dementia patients, and may have a role in the diagnosis and differentiation between common subtypes of dementia.
