ABSTRACT
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a frequent age-related small vessel disease (SVD) with cardinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures that are hemorrhagic in nature, and include the presence of strictly lobar (superficial) cerebral microbleeds and intracerebral hemorrhages as well as cortical superficial siderosis. When investigating a patient with suspected CAA in the context of intracranial hemorrhage (parenchymal or subarachnoid) or cognitive dysfunction, various MRI parameters influence the optimal detection and characterization (and prognostication) of this frequent SVD. The present report describes the influence of imaging techniques on the detection of the key hemorrhagic CAA imaging signatures in clinical practice, in research studies, and the imaging parameters that must be understood when encountering a CAA patient, as well as reviewing CAA literature.
