## Abstract The goal of this project was to utilize an information theoretic formalism for medical image analysis initially proposed in [Young et al. (2005): Phys Rev Lett 94:098701β1] to detect and quantify subtle global and regional differences in spatial patterns in patients suffering from Alzhe
Background Despite striking neuropsychological and behavioural differences between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), clinical diagnostic criteria failed to discriminate FTD from AD patients. We therefore developed the Middelheim Frontality Score (MFS), a disease-long clinic
