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 …

Background and Purpose—Although studies have attempted to differentiate intracranial
vascular disease using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWI), none have …

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 …

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 …

The diagnostic evaluation of a patient with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
integrates clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings. Imaging plays an important role by …

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 …

Background: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) tends to affect multiple arterial
segments, and previous studies rarely performed a comprehensive plaque analysis of the …

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 …
