High-Intensity Signal in Carotid Plaque on Routine 3D-TOF-MRA Is a Risk Factor of Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

HIS in carotid plaques on 3D-TOF-MRA MIP images are independent determinants of prior ischemic strokes in patients with moderate carotid artery stenosis, and they can potentially provide a reliable risk stratification of patients with moderate carotid artery stenosis.
