          Intracranial artery atherosclerosis is a key contributor 
						of stroke. MR evaluation of the vessel wall has been 
						technically challenging because of the difficulty of 
						suppressing blood and CSF at the same time. In this 
						study, a simultaneous blood and CSF suppression was 
						developed and tested in vivo. This technique essentially 
						provides an effective way to achieve multi-contrast 
						intracranial atherosclerosis imaging, creating a unique 
						solution to study the clinical impact of intracranial 
						artery disease.
