Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a frontal section through the brain of a 74 year old male patient. There are dilated perivascular spaces (white) and nodules (light grey) in the basal ganglia (centre). Perivascular spaces are fluid-filled structures that surround blood vessels. Both of these findings can correspond to cerebral atrophy caused by aging and are also linked to high blood pressure and dementia. | |
