title: [Neuroimaging research in patients of elderly and senile age with cerebrovascular pathology].
abstract: The neuroimaging research of 345 patients with cerebrovascular pathology was maid: 139 patients with ischemic strokes (IS) in carotid pools, 206 with chronic ischemia of the brain (CIB), discirculatory encephalopathy of 1st stage--91 patients, 2nd stage--115. All observation has been subdivided into two categories: the basic one, including 4 basic groups of supervision, and control. The criteria for the division of the basic category on groups were the region of residing and a nationality. In the patients with IS we studied the sizes of postischemic changes, cysts. In the patients with CIB we defined the changes of white substance of the brain (leukoaraiosis), and also analyzed a condition of liquor systems. MRI study of patients with IS identified the most different in terms of volume and localization of centers of ischemic brain; in the course of treatment, in dynamics, according to the results of morphometric analysis there was a decrease of growth of the center. The most widespread changes of state of the substance of the brain and its liquor system, defined by MRI in patients with CIB, were expansion of liquor spaces and atrophic changes of periventricular zone in the form of the lowered density of white substance of the brain, and also the true atrophies which were more frequent in patients of 2nd and 4th groups. In the patients of 1st group even the phenomena of leukoaraiosis were marked only in easy degree of expressiveness.
