We quantified the differential effects of the spin-spin relaxation times (T2) of tissue water and cerebral spinal fluid in order to examine hippocampal T2 changes as a non-invasive bio-marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We measured T2 in the right hippocampus of ten patients fulfilling the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for AD and 40 healthy adult volunteers using localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The T2 values of AD patients (73 +/- 8 ms) were significantly shorter (P < 0.
