Abstract

•Brain MR images of 130 West African stroke patients were collected and analyzed•Low field scanners (0.3 and 0.36T) were used due to resource constraints in Nigeria•This is the largest study using MRI for stroke in West African patients to date•White matter hyperintensities were segmented and verified by radiologists•Age, waist/hip ratio and platelet count were associated with higher WMH volumes
