Abstract
Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (vwMRI) is emerging as an important tool in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular pathology and as an adjunct to guide management and treatment decisions. Unlike lumen imaging, vwMRI yields radiobiologic information by demonstrating abnormalities in the vessel wall structure, atherosclerotic plaque components, and contrast leakage into the arterial wall indicative of endothelial dysfunction. This article will review the most relevant literature relating to vwMRI findings for multiple common cerebrovascular pathologies and highlight its potential role in the management and treatment of patients with complex disease.
