Diagnostic Accuracy of High-Resolution Black-Blood MRI in the Evaluation of Intracranial Large-Vessel Arterial Occlusions

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 3D high-resolution black-blood MRI or MR vessel wall imaging allows evaluation of the intracranial arterial wall and extraluminal pathology. We investigated the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of black-blood MRI for the intraluminal detection of large-vessel arterial occlusions.
