Magnetic resonance imaging of intracranial atherosclerosis: Comparison of ex vivo 3T MRI and histologic findings.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Imaging the lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) is very important when evaluating the response of lipid-lowering therapy. The purpose of this study was to assess ex vivo LRNC of intracranial atherosclerosis using 3T MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Thirty-one atherosclerotic lesions from 17 specimens were analyzed (basilar artery=15, middle cerebral artery=16) using 3T MRI. Specimens were not chemically processed for imaging studies. Reconstructed MRI was matched with histologic sections at corresponding locations. RESULTS:The median plaque thickness of intracranial atherosclerosis was 0.6mm (0.4-2.0mm). All specimens had a LRNC on histologic findings. Three specimens had plaque calcification on histologic findings. LRNC of 30 specimens (96.8%) appeared as homogeneous isointensity/hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and hypointensity on T2-weighted imaging compared with T1-weighted imaging. CONCLUSIONS:All specimens with ex vivo intracranial atherosclerosis had LRNC. Intracranial atherosclerosis could be an indication for lipid-lowering therapy, similar to previous carotid MR studies.
