Evaluation of Supracardiac Atherosclerosis in Stroke with a Noncontrast Head-Neck-Aortic Vessel Wall MRI

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a noncontrast MRI protocol in detecting atherosclerosis related to strokes.
Conducted a noncontrast vessel wall MRI from head to aortic arch.
Compared plaque detection rates with CT angiography.
Focused on cases of embolic stroke of undetermined source.
Noncontrast MRI showed a higher plaque detection rate than CT angiography.
Enhanced identification of potential causes for undetermined strokes.

Abstract

A 15-minute noncontrast vessel wall MRI protocol from head to aortic arch demonstrated a higher plaque detection rate than CT angiography and may help identify causes of embolic stroke of undetermined source.
