- Abstract
- We determined whether 7T magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) could be used for clearly observing microvessels in a clinically asymptomatic patient with steno-occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). We utilized 3T magnetic resonance imaging to obtain the brain images of a clinically asymptomatic patient and noted MCA steno-occlusion. In comparison with 3T MRA, 7T MRA could clearly delineate the microvessels, including lenticulostriate arteries and presumed collaterals, and our observation was comparable to that with conventional digital subtraction angiography. We report an interesting case of a clinically asymptomatic patient with MCA steno-occlusion.
