Synopsis

Keywords: Alzheimer's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Alzheimer’s disease; aluminum exposure; diffusion kurtosis imagingIn this work, we focused on the Al-exposed workers and confirm the findings that DKI can discriminate MCI from NC, furthermore we assess the severity of cognitive impairment in Al-exposed workers, and find the MK, Kr, MD and FA values are correlated with MoCA scores，which may provide quantitative imaging biomarkers for Al-exposed MCI workers.
