Over the last decade, the sequence of multiecho gradient recalled echo (GRE) T2*-weighted imaging has shown the loss of signal in terms of ‘black dots’ in patients who have spontaneous intra-cerebral ...

MRI of the head (figure) showed multiple lobar cortico-subcortical haemorrhages in both hemispheres and ubiquitous brain microbleeds throughout the cerebral cortex and cerebellum.

The researchers calculated enlarged perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (central area of white matter) and basal ganglia areas of the brain. White matter hyperintensities—lesions that “light ...
