ABSTRACT

In recent years, imaging technology has developed rapidly. In identifying cerebrovascular diseases, in addition to traditional imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) uses its advantages to stand out in recent years. HR-MRI uses specific sequences to generate images of intracranial vessel walls that allow simultaneous wall and luminal imaging. This helps to identify a variety of intracranial vascular diseases, including intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD), central nervous system vasculitis (ACNS), Moyamoya disease (MMD), intracranial artery dissection (IAD), aneurysms, etc.[1]

KEYWORDS
