title: Neuroimaging to predict preclinical Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: Alzheimer's disease is common in the elderly and causes tremendous distress to patients and their carers. With the advent of newer pharmacological treatments, significant improvement in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is required. This article examines the usefulness of neuroimaging techniques to predict Alzheimer's disease in prediagnosis individuals.
