The Neuroimaging Assessment Progress of Cognitive Impairment Associated with Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the most common vascular cause of cognitive impairment, which refers to a group of ischemic and hemorrhagic changes that mainly affect the small arteries and arterioles. Features seen on neuroimaging include white matter hyperintensities, lacunar infarction, cerebral microbleed and enlarged perivascular space, which can be assessed by both quantitative analysis and semi-quantitative analysis, and this can provide evidence for the explanation of cognitive impairment.

White matter microstructural damage in small vessel disease is associated with Montreal cognitive assessment but not with mini mental state examination performances: vascular mild cognitive impairment Tuscany study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has been proposed as a screening tool in vascular cognitive impairment. Diffusion tensor imaging is sensitive to white matter microstructural damage. We investigated if diffusion tensor imaging-derived indices are more strongly associated with performances on MoCA or on the widely used mini mental state examination in patients with mil...
متن کاملCognitive Impairment Before Intracerebral Hemorrhage Is Associated With Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the association between cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized, it is not clear whether this is because of the impact of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) events, disruptions caused by cerebral small vessel damage, or both. We investigated this by considering whether cognitive impairment before ICH was associa...
متن کاملDiagnostic impact of cerebral transit time in the identification of microangiopathy in dementia: A transcranial ultrasound study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnosis and quantification of microangiopathy in dementia is difficult. The assessment of small-vessel disease requires expensive and sophisticated nuclear medicine techniques. This study was performed to identify microangiopathy related to the integrity of cerebral microcirculation by sonographic measurements (arteriovenous cerebral transit time [cTT]). METHODS W...
متن کاملMechanisms of Cognitive Impairment in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: Multimodal MRI Results from the St George's Cognition and Neuroimaging in Stroke (SCANS) Study
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a common cause of vascular cognitive impairment. A number of disease features can be assessed on MRI including lacunar infarcts, T2 lesion volume, brain atrophy, and cerebral microbleeds. In addition, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is sensitive to disruption of white matter ultrastructure, and recently it has been suggested that additional information on t...
متن کاملMRI-visible perivascular spaces: relationship to cognition and small vessel disease MRI markers in ischaemic stroke and TIA
BACKGROUND MRI-visible perivascular spaces (PVS) are potential neuroimaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease, but their functional significance and mechanisms remain uncertain. We investigated the association between PVS and cognitive impairment, and other MRI markers of small vessel disease, in a patient cohort of ischaemic stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) referrals. METHODS D...
