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

With more than 40 installed MR systems worldwide operating at 7 Tesla or higher, ultra‐high‐
field (UHF) imaging has been established as a platform for clinically oriented research in …

CSF surrounding the intracranial arteries increases as a result of brain atrophy. 9 With MRI
methods that provide dark CSF signal or suppress the CSF signal, the outer walls will …

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 …

Purpose Although three‐dimensional (3D) turbo spin echo (TSE) with variable flip angles
has proven to be useful for intracranial vessel wall imaging, it is associated with inadequate …

MRI is a versatile technique that offers many different options for tissue contrast, including
suppressing the blood signal, so‐called black‐blood contrast. This contrast mechanism is …

Objectives Several intracranial vessel wall sequences have been described in recent
literature, with either 3-T or 7-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the current study, we …

Background and aims Recent development of high resolution MRI techniques have enabled
imaging of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque in vivo. However, identifying plaque …
