Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia in older people after Alzheimer’s, accounting for 10-15% of all dementia cases. In this study we used Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) to assess the feasibility of using the changes in brain mechanical properties as potential biomarkers.
