Research Progress on Carotid Artery Plaque Magnetic Resonance Imaging and the Correlation Between Plaques and Cognitive Dysfunction
Abstract：Carotid artery plaque, as a common manifestation of carotid atherosclerosis, affects approximately 21% of people aged 20 or older in China [1]. Vulnerable/unstable carotid atherosclerotic plaques not only significantly increase the risk of ischemic stroke, but also play an important role in the development of cognitive dysfunction and dementia [2]. Early identification of vulnerable carotid plaques is crucial for preventing the above neurological diseases. High-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) is a non-invasive imaging method for evaluating the morphology and composition of carotid artery plaques.
