Unified high performance analysis of imaging biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease

描述(申请人提供)：阿尔茨海默病是一种脑部神经退行性疾病，导致记忆和认知功能受损，最终导致死亡。阿尔茨海默病的病因和疾病进展的机制尚未完全了解，但大量的努力正集中在研究和药物干预方面的问题上。脑图像分析公司开发了NeuroAnalytica，为阿尔茨海默病的生物标记物提供高质量的脑形态测量方法。这一第二阶段项目将扩大基本措施，包括研究表明在阿尔茨海默病潜在生物标记物方面有用的广泛模式和措施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the brain causing impairments to memory and cognitive functions, eventually leading to death. The causes of Alzheimer's disease and mechanisms of disease progression are not fully understood, but an enormous amount of effort is being focused on the issues in research and pharmacologic interventions. Brain Image Analysis, LLC has developed NeuroAnalytica to provide high quality brain morphometry measures for biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease. This Phase II project will expand the basic measures to include a wide range of modalities and measures that research has shown to be useful in as potential biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease.
