Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping, QSM (from 7T MRI data) to hippocampal subfield volume loss at 1 year
Relationship between QSM at recruitment and to hippocampal subfield volume (QSM and hippocampal subfield volume are obtained from 7T MRI Susceptibility Weighted and T1 Weighted images)
one year
Secondary Outcomes (2)
cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in QSM in the hippocampal subfields
one year
neuropsychological measures in relation to QSM and volume loss in hippocampal subfields
one year
Study Arms (2)
Alzheimer's disease
Patients with Early Onset Alzheimer's disease (with known cerebrospinal fluid Amyloid/tau status) during prodromal or mild phase will have MRI of the brain at 7T, neurocognitive assessments, and blood test to check APOe status. Repeat neuroimaging and neurocognitive tests after one year.
Control group
Age and gender matched individuals with normal cognition will have MRI of the brain at 7T, neurocognitive assessments and blood test to check APOe status. Repeat neuroimaging, neurocognitive tests after one year.
