Synopsis

Alzheimer’s disease induces early morphological tissue changes which precede the onset of symptoms and can be important targets for neuroimaging. In this work we employ Soma and Neurite Density Imaging (SANDI), a biophysical modelling approach for diffusion MRI, to investigate tissue microstructure alterations in the 3xTg AD mouse model and compare it with the state-of-the-art Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI).
