Synopsis

Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is one of the important causes of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged people[1; 2]. DSA remains the gold standard for identifying and characterizing carotid vascular dissections[3]. However, this imaging approach is known to have certain limitations, including invasiveness, ionizing radiation exposure, uneconomic, and inconvenience in follow-up. Recently, rapid three-dimensional MR vessel wall imaging (3D MR-VWI) techniques have been developed to visualize arterial lumen and outer wall boundaries non-invasively and without contrast administration. Non-invasive 3D MR-VWI has the potential to be a powerful tool for follow-up of cervical artery dissection.
