Claim 10:
11. A method for analyzing brain perivascular spaces, comprising:
obtaining a first image of a brain of a patient, the first image including a first contrast;
obtaining a second image of the brain of the patient, the second image including a second contrast;
combining the first image and the second image to form a combined image, the combined image preserving and magnify structures including the brain perivascular spaces within the brain of the patient, the combined image including a third contrast, the third contrast being higher than the first contrast and the second contrast;
determining the brain perivascular spaces within the combined image of the brain of the patient;
determining fluid characteristics within the brain;
generating a map of the brain perivascular spaces along with fluid characteristics within the brain of the patient; and
displaying the map of the brain perivascular spaces along with the fluid characteristics within the brain of the patient.
