Fig. 1

Brain images for three representative patients and the results from semi-quantitative segmentation of white matter changes. The left column (A, D, G) shows the original fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images and the middle column (B, E, H) shows the total white matter changes. The right column (C, F, I) shows the periventricular hyperintensities including adjacent changes, but excluding non-adjacent changes in deep white matter. The top row shows a patient with prominent periventricular hyperintensities and minor areas with changes in deep white matter. The middle row (D, E, F) shows a patient with extensive changes that are largely, but not exclusively, adjacent to the periventricular area. The bottom row shows a patient with modest changes in the periventricular area, but a large distinct area in deep white matter. The red arrows mark some of the areas detected as isolated deep white matter changes
