Undiagnosed diseases in patients with dementia--a potential target group for intervention.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:We evaluated the differential patterns of brain atrophy in early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) by measuring regional z-scores of voxel-based morphometry and assessed the availability of the method for clinical use. METHODS:The first 50 patients with probable AD were compared to 83 age-matche...
