Synopsis

Keywords: Vascular, Brain, magnetic resonance imaging; TOF MRA; Anterior choroidal artery AChA; 5.0 T

Motivation: Improved cerebrovascular disease diagnosis requires enhanced imaging of the anterior choroidal artery (AChA).

Goal(s): To evaluate the effectiveness of a 5.0T ultra-high-field MR scanner for cerebrovascular imaging compared to traditional 3.0T scanners.

Approach: Retrospective analysis using 5.0T MR imaging to assess AChA visualization in patients with cerebrovascular complaints.

Results: The 5.0T scanner significantly outperformed the 3.0T in image quality and detail, providing superior AChA delineation, which is essential for diagnosing related cerebrovascular diseases.

Impact: The 5.0T MR imaging's superior visualization of AChA paves the way for better diagnosis and management of deep brain vascular diseases, potentially influencing treatment outcomes and advancing neurovascular research.
