摘要
Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive, and often widespread arterial disorder in which the morphology and composition of the arterial segments containing atheroma are of considerable importance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows noninvasive assessment of early arterial disease without the use of ionizing radiation. Arterial compliance, flow-wave velocity, and the pattern of flow within the aorta may all be disturbed by the disease, but these parameters are all accessible to MRI. In addition, atheroma can be directly imaged. Thus, MRI is valuable not only in the detection of disease, but also in the study of its natural history and the effects of interventions such as the control of risk factors and the use of lipid-lowering agents.
