Abstract

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with alterations in the blood-brain barrier, neuronal damage, and arterial stiffness, thus affecting cerebral metabolism and perfusion. There is a need to implement machine-learning methodologies to identify a T2DM-related perfusion pattern and possible relationship between the pattern and cognitive performance/disease severity.
