Correlation Between Multiple Visual Rating Scales of Cerebral Small Vessel Lesion and Brain Atrophy with Cognitive Performances in Patients with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia in Memory Clinic

This study revealed association between visual rating scales of brain MRI and cognitive performance in amnestic MCI and mild dementia. Hippocampal atrophy appears to have stronger association than CSVL markers. However, further research with larger sample sizes and biomarker confirmation of diagnoses is necessary to elucidate long-term impact of MRI findings on cognitive decline.
