Alteration of White Matter MR Signal Intensity in Frontotemporal Dementia AJNR 18:367-378, Kitagaki,H.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Patients with frontotemporal dementia had a significant increase in white matter signal intensity in the frontal and/or temporal lobes on T2-and proton density-weighted images.Visual inspection of regular proton density-weighted images and measurements made on the T2-and proton density-weighted images were sensitive to changes in white matter signal. Increased MR signal intensity in the frontotemporal white matter on T2-and proton density-weighted MR images is a useful diagnostic sign of frontotemporal dementia and distinguishes this condition from Alzheimer disease.
