Population-Based Prevalence of Infarctions on 3D Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) Imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To report population-based, age-specific prevalence of infarctions as identified via 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging.

Materials and methods

Participants without dementia in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA), a population-based study in Olmsted County, MN, age 50-89 who underwent 3D FLAIR imaging between 2017 and 2020 were included. Infarctions per participant were determined via visual interpretation. Inter- and intra-reader reliability were calculated. Infarction prevalence on 3D FLAIR was derived by standardization to the Olmsted County population and was compared to that previously reported on 2D FLAIR imaging.

Results

Among 580 participants (mean age 71 years, 46% female) the prevalence (95% confidence interval) of any infarct
