BACKGROUND: Semantic dementia (SD) is a type of frontotemporal dementia primarily characterised by semantic aphasia, which involves the loss of meaning of words and objects. In SD, the pattern of alteration in the regional T1/T2-weighted ratio index, a proxy for myelin content, remains to be clarified. The present study examined the regional changes in the T1/T2-weighted ratio index associated with SD.
METHOD: Nineteen patients with SD and 21 healthy participants underwent a 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scan. Differences in index values between the two diagnostic groups were assessed.
RESULTS: Patients with SD had significantly reduced index values in bilateral temporal poles and nuclei accumbens. A significant positive relationship was found between the index values in the left parahippocampal region and the 'naming' subscore in the Mini-Mental State Examination.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the T1/T2-weighted ratio approach is useful for differentiating the patients with SD from healthy participants.
