Table 2.

Amyloid-related image abnormalities with vasogenic oedema and/or sulcal effusion (ARIA-E) rating scale

FLAIR finding Baseline scoring ARIA-E after treatment initiation Evolution of ARIA-E
Parenchymal hyperintensity ARWMC score by
1. Lesion size
2. Region and side (if yes – ARIA-E like?)
Count new focal lesions
1. By region and side
2. By largest cross-sectional diameter
Score 0- 0
Score 1- Monofocal ≤ 2 cm
Score 2- Multifocal ≤ 2 cm
Score 3- Any lesion > 2 but < 4 cm
Score 4- Any lesion >4 cm
Score 5- Entire lobe
Increase ARIA-E
ARIA-E unchanged
