Abstract
Vessel wall MR imaging (VWI) is a technique that progressively has gained traction in clinical diagnostic applications for evaluation of intracranial and extracranial vasculopathies, with increasing use in pediatric populations. The technique has shown promise in detection, differentiation, and characterization of both inflammatory and noninflammatory vasculopathies. In this article, optimal techniques for intracranial and extracranial VWI as well as applications and value for pediatric vascular disease evaluation are discussed.Entities:
