    This study numerically analyzed brain matter in 60 patients, finding a significant difference between white and gray matter using Hounsfeld units (HU). This quantitative analysis aids in diagnosing leukoencephalopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Radiology
    • Quantitative MRI Analysis

    Background:

    • Accurate differentiation between white matter and gray matter is crucial for neurological diagnosis.
    • Previous methods may lack quantitative precision in distinguishing these tissues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To numerically evaluate Hounsfeld units (HU) in specific white and gray matter regions of interest.
    • To assess the utility of quantitative analysis for diagnosing leukoencephalopathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical analysis of six brain regions (3 white matter, 3 gray matter) in 60 patients.
    • Measurement of Hounsfeld units (HU) before and after contrast injection.
    • Subgroup analysis for patients under 15 years of age.

    Main Results:

    • A mean difference of 7.1 ± 1.3 HU was observed between white and gray matter.
    • Younger patients (<15 years) showed a smaller difference of 5.1 ± 0.6 HU.
    • Contrast injection increased HU values, with gray matter showing a slightly greater increase (0.5 HU).

    Conclusions:

    • Quantitative evaluation of white and gray matter HU values is a valuable tool.
    • This method demonstrates utility in the diagnosis of leukoencephalopathy.
    • Age-related differences in HU values warrant consideration in analysis.
