Analysis of the Diagnostic Value of Three-Dimensional High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Vascular Wall Imaging for Vascular Stenosis in Patients with Cerebral Infarction
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of three-dimensional high-resolution magnetic resonance vascular wall imaging(HR-MRI VWI)for vascular stenosis in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:Retrospective collection of clinical data of 196 patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in Guangzhou Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2022 to October 2022,all patients underwent HR-MRI VWI and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)examinations.The HR-MRI VWI imaging features of patients with cerebral infarction was recorded,used DSA as the gold standard.Consistency between HR-MRI VWI and DSA in detecting the location of diseased blood vessels and the degree of vascular stenosis was detected by kappa test.The value of HR-MRI VWI in diagnosing the degree of vascular stenosis in cerebral infarction was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC).Results:HR-MRI VWI could detected subcortical infarction and ipsilateral intravascular plaques in cerebral infarction lesion areas,the imaging features of plaques on HR-MRI VWI include plaque enhancement,positive wall remodeling,high intensity of plaque Tl,and irregular plaque surface,with an average plaque load of(75.09±12.13)%.DSA detected 223 diseased vessels,and HR-MRI VWI detected 212 diseased vessels.The consistency between HR-MRI VWI and DSA in detecting the location of diseased vessels and the degree of vascular stenosis was good(Kappa values=0.802,0.775,P<0.05).The area under the curve of HR-MRI VWI for differential diagnosis of cerebral infarction vascular stenosis grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ was 0.942,the sensitivity was 94.90%,the specificity was 93.60%,the positive predictive value was 92.08%,and the negative predictive value was 95.90%.Conclusion:HR-MRI VWI can accurately deter-mine the distribution and degree of vascular stenosis in cerebral infarction lesions,and has high value in the diagnosis of cerebral infarc-tion.
