Maximum intensity projections, angulated to the left carotid bifurcation (slab thickness: 20 mm), in an 81-year-old woman with ischemia of the left precentral gyrus showing an extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis (wide arrows, grade 3) in REACT (water-only reconstructions) and CE-MRA. Additionally, source images of REACT (coronal view) reveal a hypointense plaque (thin arrows) of the contralateral carotid bifurcation, being of impaired visibility in CE-MRA. REACT, relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering; CE-MRA, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography.
