Abstract

Major changes occur at the cerebral level with aging. Cerebral atrophy develops progressively. Multiple lesions related to small-vessel diseases are detected in association with cerebral atrophy including white-matter hyperintensities, lacunes, microbleeds, dilated perivascular spaces and cerebral, including cortex, atrophy. The clinical impact and predictive value of these Imaging makers were examined.

Keywords: Aging; Atrophy; Lacunes; Microbleeds; Perivascular spaces; White-matter.
