We have translated a 7T MRI vessel wall imaging protocol
for assessing intracranial vessel wall morphology to a
clinically-available 3T MRI sequence without the need
for contrast administration. We have performed this
protocol on both young, healthy volunteers as well as on
patients with moyamoya disease. Our results indicate
that it is possible to discern the vessel wall of young,
health individuals with our parameters, and that we can
reliably identify the major arteries of the Circle of
Willis as well as arteries distal to it.
