While there are several cognitive screening tests available for the detection of cortical dementias such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), these are rarely designed to be sensitive to vascular cognitive impairment (VCI).

This study investigated the ability of the BMET to detect AD, and to differentiate between VCI and AD.
