OverviewMapped brain changes in 676 ADNI subjects
Tensor-based morphometry (gives 3D maps of rates of tissue loss) Automated Hippocampal/Ventricular Mapping 1000s of scans, no manual intervention
Only need ~40 AD and 80 MCI subjects to detect 25% slowing of disease (10x better than best clinical score)
Which MRI measures correlate best with clinical decline, and with CSF biomarkers (A-beta/Tau)?What is the best numeric summary of change from a 3D image? Is 3T better than 1.5T? How is power affected by pooling?

Summary
All MRI measures correlate well with CSF biomarkers, clinical decline, and predict future conversion to AD.
TBM needs 50 AD and 75 MCI subjects to detect 25% slowing of disease (10x better than best clinical score)
All maps show focal effects - interesting that these statistically guided ROIs will give much better numeric summaries of change (15-50% reductions in sample size)
Mixing 1.5T and 3T scanners is not a problem; but 3T was slightly worse for tracking change in MCI
