Intracranial high-resolution vessel wall imaging in differentiating intraluminal basilar artery thrombus from arterial dissection

Intracranial high-resolution vessel wall imaging in differentiating intraluminal basilar artery thrombus from arterial dissection

Intracranial high-resolution vessel wall MRI (vwMRI) is a noninvasive imaging protocol to view intracranial intramural abnormalities with a growing array of indications. There is ongoing study in the use of vwMRI on intraluminal pathology. Given the devastating clinical implications of basilar arter...
