Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment(MCI) is considered as a transitional stage between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease(AD). It is a gradually progressing process from MCI to AD dementia. The changes of the structure and function in the process of disease progression can be seen noninvasively using MRI technology, so it has become the focus that studies the conversion of MCI to AD dementia using the technology of MRI. The studies of the structural MRI and the resting state functional MRI from MCI to AD dementia in recent years were reviewed in this paper. It has played an important role for MRI in the study of the conversion from MCI to AD, and it has the effect of dynamic monitoring on the progression at the imaging basis.
