Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis Evaluation Research Based on Vascular Wall Magnetic Resonance Imaging

In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is increasing year by year in China, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis has become a key cause to disability and death. In this paper, a carotid atherosclerosis evaluation scheme based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was proposed. First, blood vessel wall MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were successively used to examine carotid artery, and then the results from the two examinations were compared. Experimental results show that the MRI-based carotid arteries atherosclerosis evaluation scheme has a higher accuracy than DSA in examination of carotid artery atherosclerosis
