A composite image showing a normal coronal (frontal) cross-sectional MRI image of the brain (in grayscale) with a superimposed coronal MRI image of a brain with advanced Alzheimer's disease (in pink). The diseased brain shows severe generalized atrophy (shrinkage) of brain tissue with an accentuated loss of tissue involving the temporal lobes.
