By Tracie L. Thompson
When patients are diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, it remains unclear if or when they might progress to Alzheimer's disease. But a new study presented Thursday at the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) meeting suggests the transition is inevitable, and that hippocampal volume on MRI roughly predicts how soon it will happen.
