Advances in Stroke Risk Assessment and Cerebrovascular Vessel Wall Imaging

Summary

As cerebrovascular vessel wall imaging techniques mature, new information will be provided useful for predicting the risk of stroke while increasing diagnostic specificity for a wide variety of common and uncommon intracranial circulatory disorders. Stroke risk prediction models are being revised to incorporate advances in optimized medical therapy and noninvasive imaging.
