Researchers are studying white matter hyperintensities — areas of change visible on brain MRI scans — in people with mild memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. By carefully measuring and mapping these changes, the study aims to better understand how these conditions develop and progress, which could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment in the future.
These brain changes may be important clues to how memory loss and Alzheimer's disease develop, but researchers don't yet fully understand their significance. This study will help identify whether measuring these changes could help doctors diagnose cognitive disorders earlier and predict how they might progress.

If you participate, you will undergo a brain MRI scan as part of the study's routine diagnostic procedures, and you may also complete neurological assessments. You will be compared with other participants who have similar diagnoses, as well as healthy control subjects without memory or thinking problems. The study is currently recruiting participants and will involve approximately 142 people total.
