PHYSIOLOGICAL BRAIN AGING BASED ON MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING EVIDENCE

The age-related stages of brain changes in healthy people have been studied. The main and additional criteria for evaluation of degenerative process in various age groups (from 10 to 59 years of age) have been suggested. In terms of its significance, accuracy and reproducibility the proposed diagnostic method can be used for the assessment of atrophic process in the brain. The results of quantitative evaluation of annual and 10-year dynamics of brain sizes changes depending on mean age in intervention groups are presented.
