颈动脉是动脉粥样硬化斑块易发部位，其脱落会导致下游血管的阻塞并引发卒中。由于优秀的软组织对比度和较高的空间分辨率，磁共振影像可以提供颈动脉斑块易损性的直接证据。本文将从临床应用需求的角度出发介绍磁共振颈动脉斑块成像和图像处理的关键技术，希望有助于从事斑块的临床和研究的人员了解目前的成像方法和未来趋势。%Atherosclerotic plaque is prevalent in the carotid arteries and a frequent source of stroke due to plaque rupture. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is capable of distinguishing vulnerable plaque directly due to its excellent soft tissue contrast and high spatial resolution. In this paper we introduce the key MRI technologies required for carotid plaque imaging. This article is intended for researchers and clinicians in the study and treatment of atherosclerosis and details the current status and future trends of this technique.
