FIG. 4

A 65-year-old female volunteer with incidental findings. A mild stenosis at the MCA was demonstrated in both SPACE and IR-SPACE. However, wall thickening and relatively high signal at the same location was depicted on IR-SPACE images only as a result of the signal suppression of surrounding cerebrospinal fluid. (a) Left column: sagittal slice demonstrating the overall image quality and contrast weighting; middle and right column: cross-sectional and in-plane views of the M2–M3 trifurcation location showing a mildly stenotic lesion. (b) Time-of-flight thin maximum-intensity-projection images confirming the mild stenosis at the same location.
