Introduction: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in cognitively impaired (CI) Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. We checked the sensitivity of time-encoded arterial spin labeling (te-ASL) in...

Introduction: Assessing the potential sources of bias and variability of the Centiloid (CL) scale is fundamental for its appropriate clinical application.
Methods: We included 533 participants from...
