ICAD = intracranial atherosclerotic disease; IVas = inflammatory vasculopathy; IVWI = intracranial vessel wall MRI; RCVS = reversible cerebral vasoconstrictive syndrome; IVWI

*

Values are no. (%); observations are reads (201 lesions × 2 raters = 402 total);

Test for difference in findings between the given pair of vasculopathy groups;

Excluding 7 lesions where one rater did not determine eccentricity.
