Abstract:BackgroundDiffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) examines tissue microstructure integrity in vivo. Prior dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) diffusion tensor imaging studies yielded mixed results.ObjectiveWe employed free‐water (FW) imaging to assess DLB progression and correlate with clinical decline in DLB.MethodsBaseline and follow‐up MRIs were obtained at 12 and/or 24 months for 27 individuals with DLB or mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI‐LB). FW was analyzed using the Mayo Clinic A… Show more
