Association of Regional White Matter Hyperintensity Volumes with Cognitive Dysfunction and Vascular Risk Factors In Patients With Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
Publication: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34105230 Geriatr Gerontol Int. 2021 Jun 9. PMID: 34105230] Authors: Hirao K, Yamashita F, Sakurai S, Tsugawa A, Haime R, Fukasawa R, Sato T, Kanetaka H, Umahara T, Sakurai H, Hanyu H, Shimizu S. Institution: Department of Geriatric Medicine, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan. Abstract: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been reported to promote neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, little is known about the association between regional WMH (rWMH) and cognitive dysfunction in MCI. We hence investigated the associations between rWMH volumes and cognitive dysfunction in MCI. PVH and DWMH lesions were outlined by a neurologist, using the semiautomated freeware 3D Slicer, which is a freely available, open-source software package for the visualization, registration, segmentation, and quantification of medical data. |
