Summary

This study tests two new, cheaper MRI methods to see if they can spot brain changes caused by small vessel disease, a major cause of stroke and dementia. About 85 adults aged 50 and older with early signs of the disease will get scans using both standard and low-field MRI. The goal is to make brain imaging more affordable and widely available.
