Preface -- Introduction: What is a biomarker? Diagnosis and Biomarkers of Alzheimer Disease -- Key Concepts -- Classification of Biomarkers for AD -- Rational Use of Biomarkers for Alzheimer's in the Clinical Setting -- Diagnostic Algorithms.

A lot of research on biomarkers for Alzheimer is being done in the last few decades. The aim of these studies is to find some method to ease the diagnosis of Alzheimers as early as possible. Such methods are a range of blood or CSF tests on one hand and several types of neuroimaging scans on the other. Many of the images coming both from laboratory and neuroimaging are very visual and illustrative. These images, accompanied by a short description, can perfectly explain the main results and usefulness of every biomarker. The objective of this book would be to summarize the most important studies made in this field. Few publications have systematically compiled results on this topic and only one as an atlas. Readers would be interested in this publication because it allows reviewing the current status of research by handily visualizing the results.
