Current possibilities of diagnosis and assessment of vascular cognitive impairment progression using neuroimaging
The article presents a current view on the relationship between vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and pathomorphological changes in the brain. A detailed description and evaluation of various neuroimaging methods is provided, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each technique in determining the presence of VCI. Neuroimaging markers for confirming the presence of cerebrovascular insufficiency in patients and the presence of VCI as a possibility of the earliest detection of brain damage are described; they can serve as a basis for diagnosing this pathology at a preclinical stage and formulating treatment and rehabilitation strategies.A.S.
