Acute, isolated intracranial dissection (ICD) represents a rare and challenging cause of acute stroke. DSA is considered to be the gold standard imaging modality in patients with ICD. The role of novel, high-resolution (HR) compressed-sensing (CS) time-of-flight (TOF) MRA techniques in ICDs is unclear.
A 22-year-old male patient with an isolated right ICA/MCA intracranial dissection underwent "conventional" 3-T TOF MRA, HR CS TOF MRA and also DSA including digital rotational angiography.
Unlike the "conventional" TOF MRA, HR CS TOF MRA provided comparable image quality to rotational angiography and a dissection membrane was clearly visible in both techniques.
In this single case study, we demonstrated the feasibility of a novel HR CS TOF in a case of an acute isolated intracranial ICA/MCA dissection, which needs to be validated in a larger case series.
急性孤立性颅内夹层(ICD)是一种罕见且具有挑战性的急性脑卒中病因。DSA 被认为是 ICD 患者的金标准成像方式。新型高分辨率(HR)压缩感知(CS)时间飞跃(TOF)MRA 技术在 ICD 中的作用尚不清楚。
一名 22 岁男性患者发生孤立性右侧颈内动脉/大脑中动脉颅内夹层,接受了“常规”3T TOF MRA、HR CS TOF MRA 以及包括数字旋转血管造影的 DSA 检查。
与“常规”TOF MRA 不同,HR CS TOF MRA 提供了与旋转血管造影相当的图像质量,两种技术均清晰显示了夹层膜。
在这项单病例研究中,我们展示了新型 HR CS TOF 在急性孤立性颅内颈内动脉/大脑中动脉夹层病例中的可行性,这需要在更大的病例系列中进行验证。
