Qualitative and quantitative plaque enhancement on high‐resolution vessel wall imaging predicts symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis

Abstract

Plaque burden was an independent risk factor for plaque enhancement and showed a linear positive correlation with CR. The cutoff value of CR for plaque enhancement was 0.56, and CR ≥ 0.56 was significantly associated with symptomatic ICAS, which was independently associated with plaque enhancement.
