Understanding how vascular disease and its risk factors influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression may enhance predictive accuracy as well as guide early interventions. Here, we apply a novel T1 and DTI fusion analysis on the 3D corpus callosum (CC) of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) populations with different levels of cardiovascular risk, with the aim of decoupling vascular factors in the prodromal AD stage. Our new fusion method detected significant differences in the anterior CC between MCI subjects with high and low vascular risk profiles. These findings may help to elucidate the interdependent relationship between MCI and vascular risk factors.
