BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypertension, one of the most important risk factors for strokes, is associated with altered arterial anatomy and function. In this study, we compared the visualization of the LSAs by 3T 3D-TOF-MRA and DSA and quantitatively examined the LSAs in patients with hypertension by using 3D-TOF-MRA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
