DOI: 10.1111/jon.13077
Abstract: The prognostic significance of postcontrast enhancement of intracranial atheromatous plaque is uncertain. Prospective, long‐term follow‐up studies in Caucasians, using a multicenter design, are lacking. We aimed to evaluate whether this radiological sign predicts long‐term new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000523725
Abstract: Background: High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) can provide information on the histopathological characteristics of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions causing arterial stenosis; however, its clinical application in intracranial atherosclerosis lacks standardization for predicting stenosis. Therefore, this study… read more here.
