Delayed Enhancement of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaque Can Better Differentiate Culprit Lesions: A Multiphase Contrast-Enhanced Vessel Wall MRI Study [NEUROVASCULAR/STROKE IMAGING]

CONCLUSIONS: A 9-minute delay of postcontrast acquisition can maximize plaque enhancement and better differentiate between culprit and nonculprit plaques. In addition, culprit and nonculprit plaques have different enhancement temporal patterns, which should be evaluated in future studies.
