Grey matter and white matter pathology on T1-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging. Evidence of grey matter and white matter pathology in a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease subject seen on T1-weighted (T1W) and Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging. An example of the white matter lesion (WML) segmentation produced by our technique is also shown. All images are illustrated using the radiological convention. Red arrows indicate: a areas of hypo-intense signal on T1W and hyper-intense signal on FLAIR imaging that are characteristic of white matter lesions, b enlargement of lateral ventricles indicative of brain tissue atrophy, and c larger cerebrospinal fluid filled spaces between gyri indicative of cortical atrophy
