Three Dimensional Model-Based Analysis of the Lenticulostriate Arteries and Identification of the Vessels Correlated to the Infarct Area: Preliminary Results

Abstract

These preliminary results demonstrated that 7 T magnetic resonance imaging together with a three dimensional image analysis and modeling technique could provide information for detection of the vessel related to the infarct. In addition, three dimensional image analysis and modeling of vessels could further provide quantitative information on the microvessel structures comprising diameter, length and tortuosity.
