Abstract: Intracranial atherosclerosis has been regard as the most common cause of ischemic stroke.The information of the types and degree of vascular wall lesions is important basis for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke.High-resolution MR vessel wall imaging can directly display the lumen and wall of intracranial vessels,evaluate the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque qualitatively and quantitatively,including intra-plaque hemorrhage,plaque enhancement,and plaque distribution.Thus,high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging may play an important role in risk stratification,pathogenesis,treatment and prognosis evaluation in ischemic stroke patients.This review summarizes the progress of high-resolution MRI vessel wall imaging in the evaluation of intracranial atherosclerosis,especially the pathogenesis of plaque features and treatment-related information.
