[Abstract] Objective: To study the correlation between the MRI appearances of carotid vulnerable plaque and the risk of ischemic stroke by application of magnetic resonance imaging in high resolution imaging.Materials and Methods: Two hundred cases of carotid plaques were screened by B ultrasound examination and were performed Cervical vascular magnetic resonance imaging. Carotid plaques were divided into stable plaque group and vulnerable plaque group, then we analysed the plaque composition and the degree of luminal stenosis. Patients were followed up for 60 days with the occurrence of ischemic stroke.Results: Stable plaque group 112 cases, 2 cases of ischemic stroke occurred within 60 days. Vulnerable plaque group 88 cases, 26 cases of ischemic stroke occurred within 60 days.Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between carotid vulnerable plaque and ischemic stroke within 60 days. Carotid vulnerable plaque can be used as a predictor of short-term clinical symptoms in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
