[Abstract] Stroke is a leading cause of human death and disability, and carotid vulnerable plaque is closely related to the occurrence of stroke, intraplaque hemorrhage is an important feature of vulnerable plaque. Early identification of carotid plaque composition is crucial for the prevention and control of ischemic stroke. High-resolution MRI with advantages of high tissue resolution, non-invasiveness and repeatability, is an effective method to identify carotid vascular morphology and quantify carotid plaque composition. In recent years, MRI technology to diagnosing intraplaque hemorrhage rapidly and accurately is develop continuingly. In this paper, we made an overall review on MRI clinical applications and technical progress incarotid intraplaque hemorrhage.
