We examine the discriminative power of the related
perivascular spaces (PVS) in an elderly population of
patients with vascular dementia, Alzheimers dementia
and age-matched normal controls. We compare to
previously described PVS scoring systems. The
discriminative power standard white-matter scoring
systems and PBS are modelled using non-linear
regression. We demonstrate that PVS scores have greater
significant independent discriminative power for the
separation of VaD from normal and AD subjects than white
matter hyper intensity scoring systems.
