[Abstract] Carotid stenosis is an important cause of ischemic stroke. Early detection and early treatment can significantly reduce the fatality and disability rates. Magnetic resonance angiography plays an irreplaceable role in the quantitative assessment of carotid artery stenosis because of its advantages such as non-invasive, non-radiation and better resolution of soft tissue. This paper reviews the latest technology applications and research advances in the quantitative assessment of carotid artery stenosis using magnetic resonance angiography such as time of flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA), contrast enhanced MRA (CE-MRA), zero echo time arterial spin aabeling MRA (zTE-ASL-MRA), four dimensional flow MRA (4D-Flow-MRA), black blood (BB), simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging (SNAP), and rapid magnetic resonance imaging.
