Vessel wall MR imaging (VW-MRI) has been introduced into clinical practice and applied to
a variety of diseases, and its usefulness has been reported. High-resolution VW-MRI is …

Introduction: Vessel-wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been suggested as a
valuable tool for assessing intracranial arterial stenosis with additional diagnostic features …

Background and Purpose: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a common cause of stroke
worldwide. Intracranial vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging may be able to identify …

Aging of the vasculature, which is integral to the functioning of literally all human organs,
serves as a fundamental physiological basis for age-related alterations as well as a shared …

Background and aims Intracranial atherosclerotic plaque is associated with ischemic strokes
without substantial stenosis, and needs better characterization. We aim to investigate the …

Objective: To develop an automated vessel wall segmentation method using convolutional
neural networks to facilitate the quantification on magnetic resonance (MR) vessel wall …

Objectives Intracranial and extracranial plaque features on high-resolution vessel wall
imaging (HR-VWI) are associated with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke recurrence …

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is not a rare phenomenon in single
subcortical infarction (SSI; traditionally known as lacunar infarction) patients. Predictors of …

Background and aims Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a major etiologic cause
for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). The study was designed …

Background A comprehensive understanding of atherosclerotic plaques aids physicians in
evaluation and treatment of stroke. This study set out to evaluate the characteristics and …
