Fig. 1A. 51-year-old male smoker with hyperlipidemia (same subject as in Figs. 2, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 5). MRI assessment of brain can be completed within 10 min. MR images of brain parenchyma show normal findings: T1-weighted FLASH image (A), T2-weighted turbo spin-echo image (B), and FLAIR image (C).
