Intracranial artery atherosclerosis is a key contributor
of stroke. MR evaluation of the vessel wall has been
technically challenging because of the difficulty of
suppressing blood and CSF at the same time. In this
study, a simultaneous blood and CSF suppression was
developed and tested in vivo. This technique essentially
provides an effective way to achieve multi-contrast
intracranial atherosclerosis imaging, creating a unique
solution to study the clinical impact of intracranial
artery disease.
