Can an MRI Detect Alzheimer's Disease? Understanding the Role of Imaging in Diagnosis

As the global aging population grows, Alzheimer’s disease has become a significant health issue. Early detection and diagnosis are essential for slowing disease progression, planning care, and exploring treatment options. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a common imaging technique widely used in the medical field to detect brain structural changes. This article delves into the role of MRI in detecting Alzheimer's disease, its limitations, and future diagnostic potential. Key Points MRI can reveal brain structural changes related to Alzheimer’s disease. MRI cannot diagnose Alzheimer’s on its own but is an important tool in assisting diagnosis. MRI has different uses in the early and late stages of Alzheimer’s detection. Future advancements may combine MRI with other imaging techniques for more precise detection.
