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 …

Intracranial vessel wall magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has gained much attention in the
past decade and has become part of state-of-the-art MR imaging protocols to assist in …

Background and Purpose—Preliminary studies suggest that intracranial arteries are capable
of accommodating plaque formation by remodeling. We sought to study the ability and extent …

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 …

Purpose To implement a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol to measure intracranial
atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) in a population-based multicenter study and report …

Background and Purpose—Intracranial atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke
worldwide. Intracranial vessel wall imaging is an upcoming field of interest to assess …

Purpose: Recently, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) has been used
to depict the wall characteristics of the intracranial arteries. The aim of this study was to …

Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VW-MRI) is a modern imaging technique with
expanding applications in the characterization of intracranial vessel wall pathology. VW-MRI …

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) causes up to 10% of all ischemic strokes, and the
rate of recurrent vascular ischemic events is very high. Important predictors of vulnerability in …
