Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia are the two main diseases entirely different from each other producing almost the same abnormalities as dementia syndrome. With magnetic resonance imaging, severe atrophy of amygdala and hippocampus in both Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia was observed. There was no essential difference on the atrophic findings between Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia. This result therefore suggest that the quantitative measurement of amygdaloid and hippocampal atrophy predicts dementia.
阿尔茨海默病和多发性梗死性痴呆是两种完全不同的主要疾病，它们产生与痴呆综合征几乎相同的异常情况。通过磁共振成像观察到，阿尔茨海默病和多发性梗死性痴呆患者的杏仁核和海马体均出现严重萎缩。阿尔茨海默病和多发性梗死性痴呆在萎缩表现上没有本质区别。因此，这一结果表明，杏仁核和海马体萎缩的定量测量可预测痴呆。
