Image quantification of AD, DLB-Aβ, and age-matched control subjects
Subject group | Region | Plaque area | Lewy body area |
---|---|---|---|
AD (n = 12) | Frontal | 4.45 ± 0.03 | |
Temp/Hipp | 3.25 ± 0.01 | ||
DLB (n = 5) | Frontal | 2.14 ± 0.02 | 0.06 ± 0.0003 |
Temp/Hipp | 1.77 ± 0.01 | 0.06 ± 0.0005 | |
AC (n = 13) | Frontal | 0.62 ± 0.01 | |
Temp/Hipp | 0.68 ± 0.01 |
Frontal and temporal/hippocampus (Temp/Hipp) regions (Brodmann areas 9 and 20/28, respectively) from 30 subjects were evaluated. From each subject, five brain regions were examined. For image analysis, 300 high-resolution images were generated and digitized, identifying either Aβ plaques or Lewy bodies as the region of interest (ROI). The ROIs (Aβ plaques or Lewy bodies) are represented as a percentage of the total area examined.
