摘要：
The disclosed invention is a method for detecting indications of the presence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia-inducing, motor-control-related pathologies, and other diseases in the human brain using a magnetic-resonance based technique for measuring fine tissue and bone textures. Specifically, the invention focuses on refinements/adaptations to a prior art magnetic resonance fine texture measurement technique that facilitates/enables pushing the detection limits closer to the cellular level, so as to be able to measure the fine scale structures and tissue changes that are known to be characteristic of the neurodegenerative processes involved in the development of these diseases.
