| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) 7T: The quantitative measure of phase shifts, visual score of cortical microinfarcts and striped cortex 2) 3T: WMH and DPVS volume and measurement of vascular reactivity, 3) CSF concentrations of Aß40 and Aß42, 4) Estimation of clinical severity and disease progression of HCHWA-D by using neurological and neuropsychological standardized tests. | — |
