Visual Assessment of Age-Related White Matter Hyperintensities Using FLAIR Images at 3 T: Inter- and Intra-Rater Agreement.

CONCLUSION: Visual assessment of age-related white matter hyperintensities by radiologists using a visual scale on FLAIR sequence is reproducible. Differences in experience level do not influence readings. Visual scale use is thus justified in common practice.
