Reduced blood flow through the brain's small vessels, often from hypertension or diabetes. MRI detects the resulting white matter changes, flagging cardiovascular risk before stroke or cognitive decline.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for small vessel ischemia and hundreds of other conditions.
The hippocampus is crucial for memory formation and spatial navigation. Atrophy of the hippocampus is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and can also occur in other forms of dementia. It is associated with memory loss and disorientation.
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)A logarithmic ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol [log₁₀(TG/HDL-C)] that reflects the balance between atherogenic and protective lipoproteins. The logarithmic transformation converts the TG/HDL ratio into a scale that correlates directly with LDL particle size and the proportion of small, dense LDL particles. AIP integrates information about all lipoprotein fractions into a single value that indicates overall atherogenic potential.
