High-resolution MRI of intracranial large artery diseases: how to use it in clinical practice?

Abstract: High-resolution MRI (HRMRI) has emerged as a useful tool for clinical research in recent years. Compared with traditional cranial and vessel imaging, HRMRI provides more additional valuable pathophysiology information that is helpful for the differential diagnosis of intracranial atherosclerosis, dissection and vasculitis. However, there are some points that a neurologist should keep in mind. First, although enhanced vessel wall imaging is widely applied for research purposes, it is not appropriate for routine… Show more

“…In addition, HR-BBMRI had been recommended for clinical practice by American Society of Neuroradiology in 2017 to differentiate among causes of intracranial arterial narrowing and assess atherosclerotic plaque activity. [ 16 , 17 ]…”

“…On OAx T2 propeller images of MRI, patchy high signals were observed in left occipital lobe ( A , red arrow), right brachium pontis, and bilateral cerebellum ( B , red arrows), suggesting the old infarction. On 3D CUBE T1-weighted (T1W) images of MRI, the whole basilar arterial wall showed eccentric high signals ( C , red arrow), which indicated vessel wall thickening, consistent with the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques 1 . Focal uptake of 68 Ga-FAPI was detected along the low segment of the basilar artery, with SUVmax of 2.18 ( D , fusion image, red arrow).…”

“…For example, fibrous cap is much thinner and is demonstrated with more ambiguous signal intensity than those in carotid plaques (27). Therefore, intracranial fibrous cap rupture may not be sensitively identified by HRMRI (28). With regard to intraplaque hemorrhage, the lower prevalence in MCA indicated that it is still far away from the "true" promising tool due to the smaller hemorrhagic volume and very complicated and muddled hemorrhagic components (29).…”
