Multimodal imaging of apolipoprotein E epsilon 2 carriers

Award or Grant: National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Clinician-Scientist T32 Training Grant in Biomedical Imaging (2009-2010)

This study used multimodal imaging techniques (voxel-based morphology, arterial spin labeling perfusion, and diffusion tensor imaging) to characterize the effects of the APOE e2 allele on the brain. The APOE e2 allele is carried by approximately 5% of the population and is considered protective against Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
