This part of the body is called the pelvic area. Structures inside and near the pelvis include the bladder, prostate and other male reproductive organs, female reproductive organs, lymph nodes, and pelvic bones. An MRI does not use radiation. Single MRI images are called slices.
The type of dementia caused by small strokes, vascular dementia, is also sometimes referred to as âsmall vessel diseaseâ or multi-infarct dementia because it is caused by small strokes (infarcts) caused by blood clots in the small blood vessels of the brain.
Vascular dementia, also known as multi-infarct dementia (MID) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) , is dementia caused by problems in the supply of blood to the brain, typically by a series of minor strokes. Vascular dementia is the second-most-common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease (AD) in older adults.
