Table 4. Magnetic Resonance Imaging classification of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities 34 .

ARIA type Radiographic severity
Mild Moderate Severe
ARIA-E FLAIR hyperintensity confined to sulcus and/or cortex/subcortex white matter in one location <5 cm FLAIR hyperintensity 5–10 cm in single greatest dimension, or more than one site of involvement each measuring <10 cm FLAIR hyperintensity >10 cm with gyral swelling and sulcal effacement. One or more sites may be noted.
ARIA-H microhemorrhages <4 new incident microhemorrhages 5–9 new incident microhemorrhages ≥10 new incident microhemorrhages
ARIA-H superficial siderosis One focal area of superficial siderosis Two focal areas of superficial siderosis More than two focal areas of superficial siderosis

Abbreviations: FLAIR, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; ARIA-E, amyloid-related imaging abnormality with edema and effusion; ARIA-H, amyloid-related imaging abnormality with hemosiderin deposits.
