Lenticulostriate Arteries in Chronic Stroke Patients Visualised by 7 T Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Abstract

This study demonstrates that noninvasive magnetic resonance angiography using 7 T magnetic resonance imaging can visualise abnormalities in the cerebral microvasculature of stroke patients, and that the number of lenticulostriate arteries supplying the region of the basal ganglia is less in these patients compared with age-matched controls.
