Relationship of Perivascular Space Markers With Incident Dementia in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease.

DTI-ALPS predicts future dementia risk in patients with lacunar strokes and confluent white matter hyperintensities. However, the weakening of the association between change in DTI-ALPS and incident dementia after controlling for peak width of skeletonized MD and median MD suggests part of the signal may represent conventional diffusion tensor image metrics. PVS volume is not a predictor of future dementia risk.
