ABSTRACT
Background and Purpose— White-matter hyperintensities (WMHs) detected by magnetic resonance imaging are thought to represent the effects of cerebral small-vessel disease neurodegenerative changes. We sought determine whether spatial distribution WMHs discriminates between different groups healthy aging individuals these distributions related local perfusion patterns. Methods— examined pattern T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery–weighted in 3 subjects: amyloid angiopathy (n=32), Alzheimer or mild cognitive impairment (n=41), (n=29). WMH frequency maps were calculated for each group, compared voxel-wise logistic regression. also analyzed as a function normal patterns overlaying single photon emission computed tomography atlas. Results— Although volume was greater disease/mild than aging, there no consistent difference when controlling total volume. Hyperintensities most frequent deep periventricular WM all groups. A strong inverse correlation hyperintensity demonstrated groups, demonstrating that common regions relatively lower perfusion. Conclusions— show predilection with atlas-derived perfusion, regardless underlying diagnosis. These data suggest across diverse processes, injury may occur reflects tissue properties, such relative
