Blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

The significance of the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment(VCI)is able to do early intervention and delay or even prevent its progress. How ever, due to the limitations of diagnostic methods and standards, the patients w ith mild VCI often can not get timely and accurate diagnosis. Recent studies have show n that blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) may provide objective indicators for the diagnosis of VCI. This article review s the application of BOLD-fMRI in the diagnosis of VCI.
