Through better recognition of this disease and more precise diagnosis, led by brain imaging in the appropriate clinical context, it is our sincere hope that mankind can conquer this terrible disease. This handbook was developed to provide an overview of the state of the art of brain-imaging approaches that have recently emerged to reveal the critical characteristics of brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. It provides numerous chapters that examine this critical phase of Al UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?custid=ns123844&authtype=ip,shib&direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=395263 ER -
