Cerebral Microbleeds in Different Brain Regions and Their Associations With the Digital Clock-Drawing Test: Secondary Analysis of the Framingham Heart Study.

The study indicates a significant association between CMB, especially deep and mixed types, and reduced performance in drawing efficiency and motor skills as assessed by the DCT. This highlights the potential of the DCT for early detection of CMB and their subtypes, providing a reliable alternative for cognitive assessment and making it a valuable tool for primary care screening before neuroimaging referral.
