Abstract White matter hyperintensities (WMH) and infarcts found on magnetic resonance imaging (MR infarcts) are common biomarkers of cerebrovascular disease. In this review, we summarize the methods, publications, conclusions stemming from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) related to these measures. We combine analysis WMH MR infarct data across three main ADNI cohorts with a review existing literature discussing new methodologies scientific findings derived data. Although inclusion criteria were designed minimize vascular risk factors disease, all consistent trends increasing volumes associated advancing age, female sex, cognitive impairment. ADNI, initially proposed as study investigate AD pathology, has also helped elucidate impact asymptomatic brain injury cognition within cohort relatively free Future work will emphasize additional biomarkers.
