Background: Phase four of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI4) began in 2023. This time-period corresponded to MRI vendors introducing product sequences with compressed sensing (CS), cross-vendor adoption of arterial spin-labelling (ASL) and multi-band slice excitation, and hardware improvements (head-coils, increased gradient amplitudes). These advances enabled the acquisition of new imaging measures and reduced scan times.

Background: With an aging population, it is essential to identify subtle features of brain pathology - both neurodegenerative and vascular - at an early stage, which may predict risk of future decline. We used diffusion MRI (dMRI) to assess grey matter cortical microstructure and investigate associations with 1) Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and 2) mid/late-life vascular risk (as measured by blood pressure (BP)).
Method: 151 asymptomatic individuals from the British 1946 birth cohort underwent combined PET/MR with [18F]florbetapir Aβ-PET at ∼73yrs, and [18F]MK-6240 tau-PET at ∼76yrs.

Background: Understanding when Aβ positive cognitively normal individuals develop tau pathology has important implications for treatment with anti-Aβ therapies. We employed a changepoint regression approach to estimate time from Aβ-PET positivity to regionally elevated tau-PET in a population-based cohort of primarily cognitively unimpaired individuals.
Method: Participants from Insight 46 (1946 British birth cohort) underwent two [F]florbetapir Aβ-PET scans and a sub-sample enriched for Aβ were also scanned with [F]MK-6240 tau-PET, characteristics are presented in Table 1.

Purpose To extend a previously developed machine learning algorithm for harmonizing brain volumetric data of individuals undergoing neuroradiological assessment of Alzheimer disease not encountered during model training. Materials and Methods Neuroharmony is a recently developed method that uses image quality metrics (IQM) as predictors to remove scanner-related effects in brain-volumetric data using random forest regression. To account for the interactions between Alzheimer disease pathology and IQM during harmonization, the authors developed a multiclass extension of Neuroharmony for individuals with and without cognitive impairment.
