Using High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Estimate Distensibility of the Middle Cerebral Artery.

CONCLUSION: These results lead to the first noninvasive image-based estimation of distensibility of the MCA (approx. 5.8 × 10-4 mm Hg-1) and demonstrate that ultra-high-field MRI could be a promising tool for investigating distensibility of intracranial arteries in relation to cerebrovascular pathology.
