[Abstract] Objective: To explore the MR signal characteristics of carotid web with vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VW MRI).Materials and Methods: Ten patients with carotid web diagnosed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) was collected to discover clinical value of VW MRI in the diagnosis of carotid web.Results: Carotid web was isointension in T1WI and hyperintense in T2WI and obvious enhancement after contrast. Carotid web has six imaging characteristics: "vessel wall thickness" (100%) and "projection" (100%) and "septum" (90%) and "double lumen sign" (80%) and "valve sign" (60%) and "contrast stasis" (30%).Conclusions: Carotid web has a high relationship with ischemic stroke in patients with no obvious cardiovascular risk factors. VW MRI can provide valuable and characteristic imaging in the diagnosis of carotid web.
