Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular dementia (VaD) is a heterogeneous disorder with distinct subtypes, each exhibiting unique neuropathological profiles. Although neuroimaging studies have identified some subtype-specific structural brain alterations, a systematic investigation establishing causal relationships between imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs) and the development of specific VaD subtypes remains absent from current...
