Gadolinium-enhanced MRI for Leukoaraiosis

Brain gadolinium-enhanced MRI (1.5 Tesla) was completed by standard protocols for posterior fossa visualization. The extent of leukoaraiosis was assessed with the Fazekas scale (11 (link)) on T2-weighted images or FLAIR sequences and classified in four stages according to presence, size, and confluence of periventricular and deep WML: 0 “absent,” 1 “foci,” 2 “beginning confluent” and 3 “large confluent areas.”

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
