Vessel wall MR imaging (VW-MRI) has been introduced into clinical practice and applied to a variety of diseases, and its usefulness has been reported. High-resolution VW-MRI is essential in the diagnostic workup and provides more information than other routine MR imaging protocols. VW-MRI is useful in assessing lesion location, morphology, and severity. Additional information, such as vessel wall enhancement, which is useful in the differential diagnosis of atherosclerotic disease and vasculitis could be assessed by this special imaging technique. This review describes the VW-MRI technique and its clinical applications in arterial disease, venous disease, vasculitis, and leptomeningeal disease.
