编者按传统的颅内动脉影像学检查技术包括计算机断层扫描血管造影、磁共振血管成像和数字减影血管造影。这些检查揭示了管腔的异常,但不能够准确描述血管壁上的病变。越来越多的学者开始关注利用高分辨颅内管壁磁共振成像技术直接观察血管壁。此新技术可以鉴别动脉粥样硬化斑块、血管炎、动脉夹层、可逆性脑血 Editor’s Choice Traditional intracranial arterial imaging techniques include computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography. These examinations revealed abnormal lumen, but failed to accurately describe the lesion in the vessel wall. More and more scholars began to pay attention to the use of high-resolution intracranial magnetic resonance imaging of the wall directly observed. This new technology can identify atherosclerotic plaques, vasculitis, arterial dissection, reversible cerebral blood
