Imaging Markers

Brain imaging is essential for the diagnosis and characterization of cerebral small vessel disease. Several magnetic resonance imaging markers have therefore emerged, providing new information on the diagnosis, progression, and mechanisms of small vessel disease. Yet, the reproducibility of these small vessel disease markers has received little attention despite being widely used in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. This review focuses on the main small vessel disease-related markers on magnetic resonance imaging including: white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, dilated perivascular spaces, microbleeds, and brain volume. The aim is to summarize, for each marker, what is currently known about: (1) its reproducibility in studies with a scan–rescan procedure either in single or multicenter settings; (2) the acquisition-related sources of variability; and, (3) the techniques used to minimize this variability. Based on the results, we discuss technical and other challenges that need to be overcome in order for these markers to be reliably used as outcome measures in future clinical trials. We also highlight the key points that need to be considered when designing multicenter magnetic resonance imaging studies of small vessel disease.

Background and aims Given the unexplored potential of physical activity to reduce the progression of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD, the purpose of this study was to prospectively (across nine-year follow-up) examine the relation between (baseline) physical activity and the (clinical and imaging) consequences of the whole spectrum of cerebral small vessel disease. Methods Five hundred and three patients with cerebral small vessel disease from the RUNDMC study were followed for nine years. Physical activity was assessed using a questionnaire in 2006, 2011, and 2015. Clinical events (i.e. all-cause mortality, cerebrovascular events (by stroke subtype)) were collected with a structured questionnaire. Patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging scanning for the assessment of magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (i.e. white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and microbleeds) and microstructural integrity of the white matter at three timepoints. Results The mean age at baseline was 66 (SD 9.0) years; 44% were women. A higher baseline physical activity level was independently associated with a lower all-cause mortality (HR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.49–0.98, p = 0.03) and incidence of cerebrovascular disease (HR: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.36–0.96, p = 0.03). However, we found no relation between physical activity and incident lacunar stroke or progression of magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease. Conclusions Whilst regular physical activity was not related to the progression of magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease across a nine-year follow-up, results from our study prove that high levels of physical activity in patients with cerebral small vessel disease are associated with a lower all-cause mortality and lower incidence of cerebrovascular events.
