Mixed-Location Cerebral Microbleeds: An Imaging Biomarker for Cerebrovascular Pathology in Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in a Memory Clinic Population

摘要

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in the lobar and deep locations have been associated with two distinct pathologies namely cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and hypertensive arteriopathy. However, the role of mixed-location CMBs in cerebrovascular disease and cognitive impairment remain unexplored.
