Intracranial vessel wall MR imaging is an adjunct to conventional angiographic imaging with
CTA, MRA, or DSA. The technique has multiple potential uses in the context of ischemic …

The importance of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) as a cause of stroke is
underscored as compared to that of extracranial carotid stenosis and nonvalvular atrial …

Vessel wall imaging can depict the morphologies of atherosclerotic plaques, arterial walls,
and surrounding structures in the intracranial and cervical carotid arteries beyond the simple …

CSF surrounding the intracranial arteries increases as a result of brain atrophy. 9 With MRI
methods that provide dark CSF signal or suppress the CSF signal, the outer walls will …

Intracranial atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic stroke and occurs more
commonly in patients of Asian, African or Hispanic origin than in Caucasians. Although the …

Accurate and timely diagnosis of intracranial vasculopathies is important due to significant
risk of morbidity with delayed and/or incorrect diagnosis both from the disease process as …

Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a progressive pathological process that causes
progressive stenosis and cerebral hypoperfusion and is a major cause of stroke occurrence …

Background and Purpose: High-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) is a powerful tool
in diagnosing intracranial vasculopathies not detected on routine imaging. We hypothesized …

Purpose Although three‐dimensional (3D) turbo spin echo (TSE) with variable flip angles
has proven to be useful for intracranial vessel wall imaging, it is associated with inadequate …

Background Intracranial atherosclerosis is associated with frequent stroke recurrence. High
resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) can provide atheroma …
