Abstract

Carotid plaques are closely related to strokes or transient ischemic attacks.MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of prognosis.At present,the study of carotid plaque MRI is mainly focused on the evaluation of plaque stability and pathological mechanism.The research progresses of development mechanism and MR techniques in the diagnosis of carotid plaque were reviewed in this article.
