Figure 1. Visual examples of mild, moderate, and severe WMH burden.

Figure 1.

The mild WMH burden category includes the two lower volume categories corresponding to WMHs 1 to 7 cm3 large (first volume category), and WMHs 8 to 17 cm3 large (second volume category). The moderate WMH burden category includes the two intermediate volume categories corresponding to WMHs 18 to 23 cm3 large (third volume category), and WMHs 24 to 35 cm3 large (fourth volume category). The severe WMH burden category includes the two higher volume categories corresponding to WMHs 36 to 47 cm3 large (fifth volume category), and WMHs 48 cm3 or larger (sixth volume category). Abbreviations: WMH = white matter hyperintensities.
