Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in elderly, mildly demented patients: the impact of routine single photon emission computed tomography.

abstract：:To disclose the neuropathological progression course of Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of six genetically confirmed MJD cases (four males and two females, including an autopsied female, all unrelated to one another) were further investigated on neurodegeneration.
