[Abstract] Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) has a high morbidity and recurrence rate. With the rapid development of MRI technologies and applications, multimodal MRI provides multiple valuable information on vessel lumen, vessel wall, cerebral perfusion and cerebral hemodynamics. This review integrates commonly used MRI techniques in clinical practice to discuss the recent advances in ICAD research from morphology to function, mainly focusing on the capabilities and differences of various techniques in diagnosing luminal stenosis, vulnerable high-risk plaques and cerebral perfusion, etc., aiming to provide clinicians with information on ICAD morphology and function, as a reference for diagnosis, differential diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment assessment.
[Keywords] intracranial atherosclerotic disease；magnetic resonance imaging；vulnerable high-risk plaque；cerebral perfusion；collateral circulation
