Dynamic functional connections in leukoaraiosis patients without cognitive impairment: A pilot study.

Purpose: Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a major public issue that affects elderly adults. However, the underlying neuropathological mechanism of LA without cognitive impairment requires examination. The present study aimed to explore the dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) in LA patients without cognitive impairment.

Predictive value of Alberta stroke program early CT score for perfusion weighted imaging - diffusion weighted imaging mismatch in stroke with middle cerebral artery occlusion.

This study aimed to quantitatively assess the consistency and correlation between perfusion weighted imaging (PWI)/ diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) mismatch and PWI/DWI mismatch.Sixty-eight acute ischemic stroke with middle cerebral artery occlusion who underwent magnetic resonance imaging before thrombectomy were eligible. DWI volume, PWI volume and PWI-DWI mismatch were measured.
