Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Intracranial Vasculopathies

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: CNS Vasculitis

In brief

The aims of this study are to optimize MR imaging and MR angiography sequences and image reconstruction for 3T magnetic resonance imaging system scanners, which are already used in the clinical environment on patients with or with suspected intracranial vasculopathies. Improvements in these areas will have positive implications for medical diagnosis and treatment.
