White matter hyperintensities and normal-appearing white matter integrity in the aging brain
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin are a common finding in brain magnetic resonance imaging of older individuals and contribute to cognitive and functional decline. It is unknown how WMH form, although white matter degeneration is characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal loss, and rarefaction, often attributed to ischemia. Changes within normal-appearin...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities in migraine
Case-control studies showed that migraine is associated with ischemic stroke. Studies assessing the prevalence of white matter lesions (WML) in migraine however, reported conflicting results, possibly attributable to selection bias by recruiting only severe cases. We conducted a population-based MRI study of migraineurs with aura (N=161), migraineurs without aura (N=134) and controls (N=140), 3...
متن کاملChanges in normal-appearing white matter precede development of white matter lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unknown whether white matter lesions (WML) develop abruptly in previously normal brain areas, or whether tissue changes are already present before WML become apparent on MRI. We therefore investigated whether development of WML is preceded by quantifiable changes in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM). METHODS In 689 participants from the general population (mean...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Structural Changes in MS Plaques and Normal Appearing White Matter Using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging (MTI)
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting mostly young people at a mean age of 30 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most specific and sensitive methods in diagnosing and detecting the evolution of multiple sclerosis disease. But it does not have the ability to differentiate between distinct histopathologic...
متن کاملMTI of white matter hyperintensities.
The severity of tissue changes associated with incidental white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in the elderly cannot be sufficiently determined by conventional MRI. We, therefore, performed a regional analysis of the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) maps obtained on a 1.5 T scanner from 198 neurologically asymptomatic participants of the Austrian Stroke Prevention Study (mean age 70, age range...
