The Brain Health Index: Towards a combined measure of neurovascular and neurodegenerative structural brain injury with David Dickie

A structural MRI measure of combined neurovascular and neurodegenerative burden may be useful as these features often coexist in older people, stroke and dementia. Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to Dr David Dickie from the University of Glasgow lead author of 'The Brain Health Index: Towards a combined measure of neurovascular and neurodegenerative structural brain injury'. The author aimed to develop a new automated approach for quantifying visible brain injury from small vessel disease and brain atrophy in a single measure, the Brain Health Index.
