White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are linked to cognitive decline, but clinical assessment still relies mainly on visual grading (Fazekas), which is coarse and rater-dependent. We described the lesion volume of WMHs and the association of the anatomical distribution with the severity of cognitive impairment using automated lesion analysis. In addition, we evaluated whether automated volumetric quantification is more strongly associated with cognitive performance than visual grading. Materials and Methods. In a retrospective cross-sectional study, forty-one adults referred for cognitive concerns underwent standardised 3.0 tesla MRI. White matter hyperintensities were automatically segmented using Icometrix software to obtain total and regional volumes (periventricular, subcortical, brainstem, cerebellum). Visual grading used the Fazekas scale separately for periventricular and deep white matter, with a combined grade defined by the higher of the two. Cognitive performance was grouped based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) into high (\u226526), moderate (18\u201325), and low (\u226417). Statistics included Spearman\u2019s correlation and the Kruskal\u2013Wallis test with Dunn\u2019s post hoc test where applicable. Results. Higher total white matter hyperintensity volume was associated with lower Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores and showed significant differences across cognitive groups. The Fazekas combined grade correlated more weakly with the MoCA score. Regional volumetric differences showed trends, but were not statistically significant. Total volumetric burden increased stepwise across combined Fazekas categories, supporting convergent validity between methods. Conclusions. Our study found that automated volumetric quantification provides a more objective, sensitive, and scalable measure of white matter hyperintensity burden than visual grading, aligns more closely with cognitive status, and is better suited for longitudinal monitoring and research endpoints.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina62010060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T07:52:59Z","timestamp":1766994779000},"page":"60","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Quantifying White Matter Hyperintensities: Automated Volumetry Compared with Visual Grading Scales"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5063-7816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arturs","family":"Titovs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga Stradins University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Art\u016brs","family":"\u0160ilovs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga Stradins University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga East University Hospital, Hipokrata iela 2, LV-1038 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6155-7556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kalvis","family":"Ka\u013cva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga Stradins University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga East University Hospital, Hipokrata iela 2, LV-1038 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema iela 16, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ardis","family":"Platk\u0101jis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga Stradins University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1389-1944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrejs","family":"Kostiks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Riga East University Hospital, Hipokrata iela 2, LV-1038 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4392-9392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krist\u012bne","family":"\u0160neidere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema iela 16, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9586-2775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guntis","family":"Karelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Riga East University Hospital, Hipokrata iela 2, LV-1038 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6621-0196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ain\u0101rs","family":"Stepens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema iela 16, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8255-7392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nauris","family":"Zdanovskis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga Stradins University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Riga East University Hospital, Hipokrata iela 2, LV-1038 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema iela 16, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Guo, W., and Shi, J.
