Axial T1-weighted MR image of the brain demonstrates non-specific patchy white matter hypointensities at the level of the centra semiovale. Axial T2-weighted MR image of the brain demonstrates non-specific patchy white matter hypointensities at the level of the centra semiovale. There is mild generalized brain volume loss.
Axial gradient echo MR image of the brain demonstrates no susceptibility to suggest the presence of blood products.
Axial FLAIR MR image of the brain demonstrates patchy hyperintensities without a specific vascular geographic preference at the level of the septum pellucidum. There are also small periventricular cystic spaces suggestive of chronic lacunar infarcts. There is sparing of the internal capsules bilaterally. At the level of the centra semiovale, images demonstrate patchy hyperintensities without a specific vascular geographic preference. Near the cranial apex, images demonstrate patchy hyperintensities without a specific vascular geographic preference. The abnormal FLAIR signal spares the subcortical U-fibers.
