[Functional MRI and cognition assessment in subcortical ischemic vascular disease].

Objective: To evaluate the imaging features of patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) induced by Subcortical Ischemic Vascular Disease (SIVD), through magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and proton spectroscopy (MRS) technology.

Methods: A total of 52 patients with SIVD were enrolled. After analysis of scale score, 32 patients with cognitive impairment were assigned to VCI group and 20 patients with no cognitive impairment were assigned to control group.
