Graph Theoretic Analysis of Structural Connectivity of Alzheimer's Disease by Using Diffusion MR Imaging

Abstract

Structural connectivity analysis of the neural network of brain based on diffusion MR tractography has been available in research fields. Graph theory analysis of connectivity matrix can evaluate a whole and regional network of the brain. The neural network analysis of the diffusion MR may contribute as biomarker of a diagnosis, the progression of Alzheimer's disease that presents in part a disconnection syndrome.
