Application progresses of high resolution MRI in intracranial vertebral artery dissection aneurysm / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Imaging diagnosis of intracranial vertebral artery dissection aneurysm (VADA) is difficult due to its deep location and complex lesion structure. Conventional MRI is difficult to accurately observe and evaluate VADA, while high resolution MRI (HRMRI) has high spatial and tissue resolution, and vascular wall imaging technology can directly display the structural and pathological changes of the vessel wall, which plays an important role for the diagnosis of VADA and the evaluation of prognosis. The application progresses of HRMRI in VADA was reviewed in this article.
