This study investigated three-dimensional (3D) texture as a possible diagnostic marker of Alzheimers disease (AD). Methods: T1-weighted MRI of 18 AD patients, 18 Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients and 18 normal controls (NC) were selected.3D Texture parameters of the corpus callosum,including contrast, inverse difference moment , entropy, short run emphasis, long run emphasis, grey level nonuniformity, run length nonuniformity and fraction were extracted from the gray level co-occurrence matrix and run length matrix. Finally statistic significance was tested among three groups, and the correlations between parameters and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were calculated. Results: The results showed that the 3D texture features had significant differences (p<0.05) among three groups except grey level nonuniformity and run length nonuniformity that the difference was not significant (p>0.05) between MCI and NC or AD and MCI , and they were correlated with MMSE scores.Conclusions: 3D texture analysis can reflect the pathological changes of corpus callosum in patients with AD and MCI, and it may be helpful to AD early diagnosis.

Background/Aims: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are exhibited in most patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Although white matter hyperintensity (WMH) is often observed with AD, the precise role of WMH in BPSD remains unclear. The current study aimed to identify the impact of regional WMH on specific features of BPSD in persons with mild to moderate AD and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods: A sample of 256 female outpatients with AD (n = 217) and aMCI (n = 39) were recruited. We assessed BPSD using the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale. WMH and brain atrophy were evaluated using an automatic segmentation program. Regional WMH was evaluated as periventricular hyperintensity (PVH) and deep WMH in frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes. Results: Whole-brain WMH was associated with verbal aggressiveness. In multivariate analysis, PVH in the frontal lobe was independently associated with verbal aggressiveness after adjustment for brain atrophy and clinical confounders. Conclusion: The current results indicated that PVH in the frontal lobe was independently associated with verbal aggressiveness.
