Brain iron deposition in white matter hyperintensities: a 3-T MRI study

White Matter Hyperintensities on 1.5 and 3 Tesla Brain MRI in Healthy Individuals

Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are frequent incidental findings in brains of asymptomatic healthy individuals (HI). The morphological and spatial distribution of these WMH between standard 1.5T scanners and increasingly available 3T scanners in a large population of HI in clinical routine settings has not been investigated. Object...

Migraine with aura and risk of silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities: an MRI study

A small number of population-based studies reported an association between migraine with aura and risk of silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities in females. We investigated these relations in a population-based sample of female twins. We contacted female twins ages 30-60 years identified through the population-based Danish Twin Registry. Based on questionnaire responses, twins ...

Do white matter hyperintensities mediate the association between brain iron deposition and cognitive abilities in older people?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several studies have reported associations between brain iron deposits (IDs), white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and cognitive ability in older individuals. Whether the association between brain IDs and cognitive abilities in older people is mediated by or independent of total brain tissue damage represented by WMHs visible on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

White matter hyperintensities on brain magnetic resonance in systemic sclerosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the brain status of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS Fourteen female patients with SSc aged 24-74, with a disease duration of 1-12 years and without other relevant systemic diseases, were enrolled. All patients and an age matched female control group (CG) of 14 clinically normal subjects, underwent brain magnetic resonance examination at 1.5 T; spin echo p...
