Background: Cerebral chronic white matter (WM) microangiopathy is common with ageing and vasculopathy. It is known to be better detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to computed tomography (CT). Objective: To determine the detectability of WM microangiopathy on CT compared to MRI; utilizing a subjective visual approach. Material and Methods: A retrospective chart review was done in a private Jeddah’s hospital during 2020/2021. Four months of a local teleradiology practice archive was assessed for patients more than 40 years old who underwent both MRI and CT simultaneously. Those with known acute or other WM non-macroangiopathic findings were excluded. Detectability, size and location of supratentorial chronic WM changes were recorded for MRI and CT, considering MRI as the gold standard. Locations were categorized as periventricular, deep, juxtacortical and combination of all regions. Variable degrees of concordance between MRI and CT were assessed. Statistics were expressed in frequency distributions and mean +/-standard deviation. Comparison of categorical data by Fisher’s exact tests and between means by Mann Whitney U non-parametric test were performed (i.e., significant if P- values < 0.05). Results: A total of 35 cases were studied (62.9% males; mean age 40 ± 4.6 years).
