1H-MR spectroscopy metabolite levels correlate with executive function in vascular cognitive impairment
16 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are associated with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) but fail to correlate with neuropsychological measures. As proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) can identify ischaemic tissue, we hypothesised that MRS detectable brain metabolites would be superior to WMHs in predicting performance on neuropsychological tests. METHODS: 60 patients with suspected VCI underwent...
