Comparison of computer-aided quantitative measurement and physician visual assessment in the evaluation of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: a vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a leading cause of ischemic stroke in China. Accurate assessment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis through imaging techniques is crucial for guiding therapeutic interventions and prognostic stratification. Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWMRI) has emerged as a reliable method for evaluating intracranial arterial vessels. With the advancement of technology, computer-aided quantitative measurement (CAQM) is increasingly used in imaging assessment. This study aimed to compare physician visual assessment (PVA) with CAQM in the VWMRI evaluation of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study consecutively enrolled patients diagnosed with intracranial atherosclerotic sten
