Objective: The leptomeningeal ivy sign is a distinctive finding of moyamoya disease (MMD), characterized by a linear high signal intensity along the cortical sulci on contrast-enhanced T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MRI. We recently identified a similar linear enhancement along the cortical sulci using gadolinium-enhanced vessel wall MRI (VWMR) in patients with MMD. The aim of this study was to introduce the concept of the "VWMR ivy sign (VIS)".

Background: Aging is associated with heightened systemic inflammation, decline in selective aspects of cognition, and an increase in white matter lesions (WMLs). Both WMLs and systemic inflammation have been related to cognition. However, it is not clear how they interdependently relate to cognitive aging.

Background: Amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), a group of neuropathological features seen in anti-amyloid immunotherapy patients, arises partly from CAA (Aβ buildup in blood vessels). Squirrel monkeys (SQMs), developing prominent age-related CAA exceeding brain Aβ, offer a unique NHP model for ARIA study. Evaluating edema-related neurobiological defects (ARIA-E) involves preferential use of T-weighted (T-w) and flow-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI while T*-weighted (T*-w) MRI is better suited for investigating iron-related pathology like microbleeds, hemorrhaging, and iron-homing in plaques.

Background: Diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) presents a significant challenge in determining whether to propose anti-amyloid treatment plans. The identification of perivascular spaces (PVS) through MRI serves as a possible strategy to elucidate the physiopathological interconnections between the brain's clearance mechanisms and the accumulation of amyloid. This study endeavors to the association between PVS morphology and CAA pathology.

In this study, we investigated if quantitative MT (qMT) is capable of detecting the amyloid concentration in a preclinical cohort.
Method: We recruited 14 subjects with a clinical dementia rating of 0 from NYU's ADRC cohort (7 male, mean age 74, 6 amyloid-negative).
