Abstract:
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a series of diseases originating from pathological changes in cerebral microvessels, with a high prevalence in the population of advanced age. CSVD may significantly increase the risk of various neurological disorders, including cognitive impairment and stroke. With the development and application of advanced imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), there has been a deeper understanding of the brain function and microstructural changes in patients with CSVD. This article reviews some new indicators and analysis methods of fMRI and DTI in CSVD research, and elaborates on their correlation with patient clinical manifestations.
