Cerebrovascular diseases may cause cognitive functions
decline. Comprehensive MRI approaches used to
characterize white matter hyperintensity (WMH), cerebral
blood flow (CBF), and vertebral artery (VA) stenosis in
patients with cerebral vascular and cardiovascular
risks. It demonstrated that VA stenosis characterized as
vascular narrowing and/or reduced CBF by MRI may be
associated with the regional specific cerebral vascular
comorbidities detected as WMH and reduction of CBF. The
comprehensive MRI protocols with functional and high
resolution structural imaging sequences are capable of
providing valuable information on blood flow supply in
the VA and cerebrovascular ischemia in individuals
having vertebral and cardiovascular abnormalities.
