Abnormally low CSF amyloid-β (Aβ)-42 level is an early biomarker of the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), however lumbar puncture is required to collect CSF samples. A diffusion prepared arterial spin labeling technique was proposed to measure blood-brain barrier (BBB) water permeability (kw) non-invasively. Associations between water permeability and CSF Aβ42 levels in the “healthy” aging brains were studied. Significant positive correlations were found between kw and CSF Aβ42 and digit symbol scores, which suggests kw may serve as an early imaging marker of AD.
