It means a loss of neurons and the connections between them in the brain. Atrophy means loss of cells
Diffuse cortical atrophy is degeneration of brain cells that can be caused by genetics, an injury, or age-related. A disease like Alzheimer's can present symptoms of cortical atrophy.
Mild, generalised shrinkage.
There is some shrinking (atrophy) throughout (diffuse) the organ being studied and it is not severe (mild).
Diffuse means all over the brain. Atrophy means a shrinking. So the terminology means that the brain is shrinking all over. It is often seen in dementia.

Diffuse global atrophy, or diffuse brain atrophy, is when the brain shrinks in size. It's more severe than the atrophy that occurs normally with aging.

AnswerCortical (brain-related) atrophy means wasting away and decrease in size of gray matter of brain. Diffuse means the wasting is generalizedGeneralized anxiety disorder, not confined to one particular area. Age related may mean the result of aging (over 55-60).
Mild central cerebral atrophy refers to a condition where there is a mild loss of brain tissue in the central areas of the brain. This can occur due to normal aging or as a result of certain neurological conditions. Symptoms may include memory problems, difficulty with coordination, and changes in behavior or personality. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause.
Mild frontoparietal cortical atrophy is a condition characterized by shrinking of the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This can lead to symptoms such as difficulty with memory, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions. It is often associated with aging or neurodegenerative disorders.
Arthritis of the spine
Diffuse osteopenia is mild decrease in bone mineralization - not as severe as osteoporosis
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
