The Assessment of Vessel Size Imaging and Its Application in Patients with Ischemic Stroke

Ziele: Vessel size imaging (VSI) has been proposed as a quantitative assessment of mean diameter of cerebral vessels, which is of importance in cerebrovascular diseases. This quantitative technique acquires the measurement of regional diffusion coefficient and accurate evaluation of cerebral blood volume, which were not available in previous studies. This study is on the purpose of evaluating VSI in a more accurate manner and establishing VSI measurement on patients with ischemic stroke. Methode: Healthy volunteers and patients were examined on a 3.0 Tesla clinical scanner. VSI data were acquired from a single-s…
