The transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) and the retinal vessel analysis are two new and promising methods to diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease. Evaluating their potential for diagnosis, healthy controls (HC), Alzheimer patients suffering from dementia (ADD) and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as well as subgroups (MCI-nonAD, MCI-AD) were examined. We measured increased results for PI and RI and an increased and delayed retinal arterial vessel response for ADD and MCI. In comparison to established biomarkers, these methods are easy-to-administer, non-invasive, affordable and widely available.
