Time Course of Vascular Reactivity Using Repeated Phase-Contrast MR Angiography in Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis [Brief Report]

Background and Purpose—

Cerebral vascular reactivity assessment is typically performed with 2 perfusion measurements before and after a vasodilatory challenge. The aim of this study was to assess the time course of the vasodilatory effect in the brain-feeding arteries after a challenge with acetazolamide in patients with a stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA).
