Background and Purpose: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a common cause of stroke
worldwide. Intracranial vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging may be able to identify …

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of ischemic
stroke worldwide. Along with high recurrent stroke risk from ICAD, its association with …

Purpose The vessel wall MR imaging (VWI) literature was systematically reviewed to assess
the criteria and measurement methods of VWI-related imaging endpoints for symptomatic …

Background A comprehensive understanding of atherosclerotic plaques aids physicians in
evaluation and treatment of stroke. This study set out to evaluate the characteristics and …

Background Both stenosis rate and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) are important predictors
of stroke risk. Simultaneous non-contrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage (SNAP) …

Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Accurate diagnosis of
stroke is vital for guiding treatment decisions and predicting outcomes. Different types of …

Objectives Besides plaque enhancement grade, the incremental value of enhancement-
related high-resolution MRI features in defining culprit plaques needs further evaluation …

Objective Transient ischemic attack is a significant risk factor for acute cerebral infarction.
Previous studies have demonstrated that hypoperfusion in patients with transient ischemic …

Background Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with atherosclerotic plaque progression
and the occurrence of stroke, with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serving as a …
