The Incidence of T2-Weighted MR Imaging Signal Abnormalities in the Brain of Cocaine-Dependent Patients Is Age-Related and Region-Specific

Cocaine and its metabolites can produce vasospasm, and cocaine-dependent patients are at increased risk for stroke. Based on previous case reports, we hypothesized that the incidence of hyperintense brain lesions observed on T2-weighted MR images would also be increased in asymptomatic cocaine-depen...
