The predictive value of HRMRI and MRI in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques in middle cerebral artery of patients

Objective: To study the predictive value of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques in middle cerebral artery (MCA) of patients. Methods: A total of 62 patients admitted to our hospital from December 2017 to May 2019 who were diagnosed with atherosclerosis and located in the brain artery were selected, among whom 32 patients were in group A with HRMRI, and the other 30 patients were in group B with MRI. The detection rate, misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate, postoperative neurological function and limb recovery SSS (Scandinavian stroke scale) score, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) score, postoperative quality of life (QL-index), expression levels of hs-cTnT, hsCRP and HCY, and total effective rate of the two groups were detected and compared. The postoperative predictors of patients were analyzed. Results: Compared with group B, group A had higher detection rate, lower misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate, lower SSS and FMA scores, higher QL-INDEX score, lower expression levels of hscTnT, hs-CRP and HCY, and higher total effective rate. Detection rate and expression levels of hs-cTnT, hs-CRP and HCY were the postoperative predictors of patients. Conclusion: HRMRI is more accurate than MRI in predicting the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques in MCA of patients, and the accurate diagnostic effect is more helpful to the postoperative curative effect and recovery of patients. Detection rate and expression levels of hs-cTnT, hs-CRP and HCY can be used as prognostic factors.
