Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of magnetic resonance technology, more new vascular techniques are emerging and play an important role in vascular morphology and hemodynamics. The plaque in head and neck is the most common vascular pathology. Plaque rupture may lead to stroke which is a disease with high disability and mortality. We summarizes the new techniques including high resolution magnetic resonance of vessel wall imaging, 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging, silent magnetic resonance angiography and compressed sensing magnetic resonance angiography; and introduced the imaging principle and their applications in plaque.

Key words: Plaque, High resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging, 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging, Silent magnetic resonance angiography imaging, Compressed sensing magnetic resonance angiography imaging
