Characterizing the penumbras of white matter hyperintensities in patients with cerebral small vessel disease

ConclusionsOur findings revealed that DTI/DKI and ASL can show structural and blood flow changes in brain tissue surrounding WMHs. In DWMHs, the blood flow penumbra was larger than the structural penumbra, while in PVWMHs, the blood flow penumbra was almost the same as the structural penumbra.
