Vessel Wall Imaging of the Intracranial and Cervical Carotid Arteries
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 luminal changes that can be observed with traditional luminal evaluation. Differentiating vulnerable from stable plaques and characterizing atherosclerotic plaques are vital parts of the early diagnosis, preven...
متن کاملImproved black-blood imaging using DANTE-SPACE for combined carotid and intracranial vessel wall evaluation
Background Variable flip angle 3D TSE (SPACE) is a promising technique for vessel wall imaging that provides high resolution and the freedom of 3D retrospective formatting compared with 2D TSE. However it is difficult to completely suppress residual luminal blood which may mimic plaque leading to difficulties in diagnosis [Fan. JMRI. 2010:31], especially after contrast enhancement (CE). Additio...
متن کاملIntracranial vessel wall imaging: current applications and clinical implications
Conventional CT, MR, and digital subtraction angiography rely on the presence of luminal narrowing for the identification of vascular pathology offering limited insight into the offending pathophysiologic mechanism affecting the vessel. High-resolution MRI vessel wall imaging (VWI) has the potential to directly depict and characterize vessel wall pathology affecting the intracranial circulation...
متن کاملIntracranial vessel wall imaging with simultaneous blood and CSF suppression
Introduction: Recent studies suggested that the intracranial artery disease may have contributed to stroke and other clinical events more often than previous believes. Although non-invasive MR techniques have long been used to evaluate the extracranial arteries’ plaque burden and components, only a few techniques are at the clinicians’ deploy when studying the intracranial artery. One of the ke...
متن کاملIntracranial vessel wall imaging at 7.0-T MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional imaging methods cannot depict the vessel wall of intracranial arteries at sufficient resolutions. This hampers the evaluation of intracranial arterial disease. The aim of the present study was to develop a high-resolution MRI method to image intracranial vessel wall. METHODS We developed a volumetric (3-dimensional) turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequence for intrac...
