Synopsis

We compared two free water methods, T2 relaxometry-based CSFF and DTI-based DTI-FW, by associating them with age, cognitive score RAVLT, amyloid beta deposition from PiB SUVr, tau deposition from MK6240, aqueduct CSF flow from PC-MRI and ventricle CSF clearance from MK-PET. Results show that CSFF outperforms DTI-FW in most relation pairs. CSFF works great for quantifying clearance related measures but DTI-FW failed.
