Comparison of relative CVR maps in AD and controls. (A) Averaged CVR maps in the patient (left panel, N=12) and control (right panel, N=13) groups. Warmer color indicates a higher CVR value. Color bar shows the range of 0 to 0.75 times the cerebellar CVR. (B) Voxel-based maps of age-corrected and vascular risk factor-corrected CVR differences between AD and controls. The top panel shows the glass brain overlay and the bottom panel shows the rendering on the MNI brain template. Colored voxels indicate brain regions with low CVR. These include prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex and insular cortex.
