7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring microstructural changes in the lenticulostriate artery-neural complex in patients with hypertension
Using 7-T MRI, we obtained ultrahigh-resolution images of the LNC and found that the microstructures of LNC were changed in the prestroke patients with hypertension. MRI monitoring of microstructural changes in LNC, including the number of LSA stems and the internal capsule and globus pallidus volume, may serve as predictive biomarkers for intracranial changes and potential complications caused by hypertension.
