CADA7: High resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging in a monogenic model of cerebral small vessel disease

CADA7 is a prospective 7 Tesla MRI study. In this study, we aim to assess microstructural and morphological modifications of cerebral cortex in CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy), a monogenic model of cerebral small vessel disease.
