Figure 4.
Two-step confirmatory test of the prognostic value of imaging measures in frontal regions. (A and B) The relationship between baseline levels of microglial activation in frontal regions (x-axis, [11C]PK11195 BPNDz-values) and annual rate of cognitive decline extracted from linear mixed-effects model on longitudinal cognitive scores (y-axis). (C and D) The relationship between baseline grey-matter (GM) volumes in frontal regions (x-axis, z-values) and annual rate of cognitive decline (y-axis). The shapes represent clinical diagnostic groups. Coefficients and P-values were obtained from inter-modality Spearman's correlation analyses.
