WMH volume per diagnostic group. A) WMH volume per diagnostic group: healthy controls (n = 52), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (n = 72), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients (n = 48). No significant differences were found between the diagnostic groups (p = 0.18). Solid bar = median. B) WMH volume distribution as a function of the relative distance to the ventricles, per diagnostic group. Healthy controls had a lower WMH volume, but showed a similar distribution pattern as MCI and AD patients.
