Objective To investigate reference criteria for early diagnostic of Alzheimer's disease by exploring the FA values of the related brain regions that their ALFF values are different. Methods 17 AD patients and 17 healthy man underwent rest state FMRI scans and DTI scans using Siemens Trio 3.0T MR scanner. ALFF maps and FA maps were obtained, first the ALFF maps of two groups were compared, then we take the result as the mask used for the comparison of the FA maps. Results The zones that the FA values of are abnormal is the same as the zones that ALFF are abnormal,at the same time,the FA values of AD are lower. Conclusion There were typical changes of FA and ALFF in AD patients, it may help the early diagnositic of AD.
