Does high-resolution MRI detect basilar artery plaques in patients with paramedian pontine infarct?
High-resolution MRI is a promising imaging modality for identifying basilar artery atherosclerosis in paramedian pontine infarcts, even when standard MR angiograms are normal.
Klein et al. (2005) studied this question.
