Do cerebral white matter lesions influence the rate of progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia?

· 0 citations · 25 references

TL;DR

Cerebral white matter lesions (WML) are histopathologically heterogeneous but associated with vascular risk factors and thought mainly to indicate ischemic damage, with aMCI patients having higher risk than naMCI for conversion throughout the 5-year follow-up period.

Feasibility and clinical value of visual MRI rating scales in differentiating dementia subtypes: correlation with montreal cognitive assessment

Visual MRI rating scales are simple, reproducible, and reliable tools for dementia assessment that can be scored on routine MRI without specialized sequences or post-processing, and their correlation with the more sensitive MoCA reinforces their role in clinical evaluation.
