The NeuroMet project aims to identify new biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and to reduce measurement uncertainties for known biomarkers for AD. This work presents first NeuroMet results with a focus on ultra-high field MR imaging and MR spectroscopy. Significant correlations were found between volumes of cortical and subcortical gray matter structures and concentrations of NAA, glutamate and GABA.
