Abstract:
The major conditions requiring nursing care in the elderly are stroke and dementia. At institutions certified by the Brain Dock Society, individuals receive not only brain MRI and MRA but also cognitive assessments and carotid ultrasound examinations to detect silent cerebral small- and large-vessel disease, brain atrophy, and mild cognitive impairment. Early detection of asymptomatic cerebrovascular disease and mild cognitive impairment in Brain Dock screening is expected to help prevent stroke and dementia, particularly among older adults.
