These regions are typically affected in Alzheimer's disease, but no significant atrophy is observed here. The ventricular volume is also within normal limits, suggesting no evidence of brain shrinkage or compensatory ventricular enlargement.\n\n#### **Cognitive Testing:**\nThe MMSE score of 26.0 indicates mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is a potential precursor to Alzheimer's disease but does not confirm the diagnosis. The Logical Memory score of 3.0 is notably low, suggesting impaired episodic memory, which is often an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.\n\n#### **Genetic Risk:**\nThe absence of APOEε4 alleles reduces the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease, as this genetic variant is a known risk factor.\n\n#### **Other Considerations:**\nThe patient's age (70.7 years) and medical history may contribute to cognitive changes. However, the imaging findings do not support significant neurodegeneration, and the genetic profile does not indicate increased risk.\n\n---\n\n### **Conclusion:**\nThe patient exhibits mild cognitive impairment (MCI) based on cognitive testing (MMSE and Logical Memory scores). However, the imaging findings do not show evidence of significant brain atrophy or neurodegeneration typically associated with Alzheimer's disease. The absence of APOEε4 alleles further reduces the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease.\n\n### **Recommendations:**\n1. **Follow-Up Cognitive Testing:** Repeat MMSE and Logical Memory tests in 6–12 months to monitor changes in cognitive function.\n2. **Lifestyle Interventions:** Encourage cognitive stimulation, physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet to support brain health.\n3. **Neurologic Evaluation:** Consider further evaluation for other causes of MCI, such as vascular cognitive impairment or medication effects.\n4. **Monitor Symptoms:** Watch for progression of memory loss, difficulty with daily activities, or other signs of dementia.\n\nAt this time, the findings do not strongly support a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Continued monitoring and supportive care",
