Arterial Wall Imaging in Pediatric Stroke [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions—AWI is a noninvasive, high-resolution magnetic resonance AWI technique, which can be successfully used in children presenting with AIS.

Further studies are required to assess the additional diagnostic utility of AWI over routine vascular imaging techniques, in childhood AIS.
