BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Anatomic evaluation of the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs)
is important, especially in cases of surgical or endovascular treatment, but biplanar …

Purpose The lenticulostriate arteries (LSA) and other perforators may play a role for
collateral supply in cases with ischemia due to stenosis or occlusions of the middle cerebral …

Background Noninvasive magnetic resonance angiography using ultra-high-field magnetic
resonance imaging has recently provided us with the potential to image cerebral …

Objectives The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of using intracranial T1-
weighted vessel wall imaging (VWI) to visualize the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) at 3T …

Background Small vessel diseases have been studied noninvasively with magnetic
resonance imaging. Direct observation or visualization of the connected microvessel to the …

Purpose We hypothesized that the pattern of branching of the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs)
is involved in the variation of the distribution of the infarction within the LSA region. Our …

Objective: The lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) are small penetrating branches which are
feeding the basal ganglia. Thus far, no noninvasive imaging method has been capable of …

Lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) originate from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and supply
blood to the basal ganglia. The evaluation of its structure and function is essential for the …

The authors examined the lenticulostriate (perforating) arteries in the vascular casts of 48
middle cerebral arteries (MCA), as well as in the MRI or CT scans of 32 patients with …

The lenticulostriate arteries (LSA) and their microanatomy, region of supply and
atherosclerosis were examined in 24 microdissected brains, arterial casts, and histological …
