MRI Detection of New Hemorrhages:Potential Marker of Progression in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Neurol 53:1135-1138, Greenberg,S.M.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors used serial gradient-echo MRIs to detect new small hemorrhages in patients with previous lobar hemorrhage. Of 24 lobar hemorrhage patients (17 diagnosed with probable and 7 with possible amyloid angiopathy) who prospectively un derwent repeat MRI 1.5 years after initial study, 9 (38%) demonstrated additional hemorrhages at follow-up. Interrater agreement was high. New hemorrhages were more frequent in patients with probable amyloid angiopathy (8 of 17, 47%) with more hemorrhages at baseline (p<0.01). These results suggest a role for gradient-echo MRI in assessing disease progression in amyloid angiopathy.
