BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The tortuous distal part of the ICA may have an
attenuating effect on pulsatile arterial flow. We investigated local arterial blood flow patterns …

Background Attenuation of velocity pulsatility along the internal carotid artery (ICA) is
deemed necessary to protect the microvasculature of the brain. The role of the carotid …

Background Increased cerebral blood‐flow pulsatility is associated with cerebral small
vessel disease (cSVD). Reduced pulsatility attenuation over the internal carotid artery (ICA) …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 4D flow MR imaging is an emerging technique that allows
visualization and quantification of 3D blood flow in vivo. However, representative studies …

Purpose The development of intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses may be
associated with the morphology of the siphon. The aim is to quantitatively characterize the …

To determine three‐dimensional (3D) blood flow patterns in the carotid bifurcation, 10
healthy volunteers and nine patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis≥ 50% were …

Purpose To describe, validate, and implement a centerline processing scheme (CPS) for
semiautomated segmentation and quantification in carotid siphons of healthy subjects. 4D …

Background Carotid webs (CaWs) are fibromuscular projections in the internal carotid artery
(ICA) that cause mild luminal narrowing (< 50%), but may be causative in up to one‐third of …

Background Compromised cerebral blood flow can contribute to future ischemic events in
patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease. However, there is limited knowledge of the …

This study correlates the appearance of the cavernous segment of the carotid artery on MR
images with the presence of significant stenosis or occlusion of the cervical carotid artery as …
