    Brain MR imaging pathologic features of CAA pathology. A, Axial T2* image from a 76-year-old male patient shows left frontal cortical siderosis and multiple foci of microhemorrhages of the predominant frontal location bilaterally. B, Axial T2 FLAIR image from a 73-year-old woman shows centrum semiovale white matter T2-hyperintense lesions attributed to chronic small-vessel ischemia. C, Axial T2 image from a 78-year-old female patient shows EPVS in the centrum semiovale.

    Regional brain atrophy as measured by the visual rating score compared across cognition levels: normal, MCI, dementia. The regions evaluated are the anterior cingulate (A), orbitofrontal (B), anterior temporal (C), frontoinsular (D), medial temporal (E), and posterior (F) . Statistical significance is considered at P values < .05 (asterisk). CN indicates cognitively unimpaired; Dem, dementia; ns, not significant.

B, Spearman correlation analysis of MTA with basal ganglia age-related white matter changes (BG ARWMC). C, Spearman correlation analysis of MTA with centrum semiovale age-related white matter changes (CS ARWMC). Statistical significance is considered at P values < .05 (asterisk).
