Small vessel disease contributions to acute delirium: a pilot feasibility MRI study
MRI is feasible, usable and tolerable in delirium, and we detected DWI-hyperintense lesions in one-third of all study participants, regardless of delirium status. This study indicates acute vascular contributions, including SVD, to both delirium- and non-delirium-related presentations, supporting the need for larger studies.
