Summary
This study tested a new, portable low-field MRI to measure white matter hyperintensities (WMH)—tiny brain changes linked to aging and vascular risk. Researchers enrolled 100 adults with at least one risk factor like high blood pressure or diabetes. They developed a simple grading scale (minimal, moderate, severe) and compared the portable MRI results to standard high-field MRI scans.
