08:30		608-01-001. Quantitative Intracranial Vessel Wall Imaging Features Differentiate Atherosclerosis, Vasculitis, and RCVS Dan Cheng, Yin Guo, Mona Kharaji, Beibei Sun, Hisham Alfarra, mohamad mosi, Zhiwei Tan, Xin Wang, SeyyedKazem HashemizadehKolowri, Chun Yuan, Niranjan Balu, Mahmud Mossa-Basha University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, United States of America Impact: Quantitative IVW enables precise, reproducible diagnosis of intracranial vasculopathies, potentially improving patient management and facilitating objective clinical research, while opening new avenues for evaluation and standardized imaging biomarkers in neurovascular disease.
08:41		608-01-002. REACT-MAX: Comprehensive Vascular Evaluation with Non-Contrast Angiography, Vessel-Wall, and Calcification MRI in One Scan Masami Yoneyama, Satonori Tsuneta, Satoru Aono, Noriyuki Fujima, Jihun Kwon, Shuo Zhang, Marc Van Cauteren Philips Japan, Tokyo, Japan Impact: REACT-MAX streamlines comprehensive vascular evaluation by combining contrast-free angiography, vessel-wall, and calcification imaging in one scan, reducing scan time and motion artifacts while improving diagnostic workflow efficiency for potential early detection of systemic atherosclerotic disease.
08:52		608-01-003. 7T MRI Detection of Hypertension-Related Microvascular Remodeling in the Lenticulostriate Arteries Siyi Li, Jiaxin Zeng, Huilou Liang, Su Lui West China Hospital, Sichuan University, China Impact: This study highlight the potential of 7T MRI as a sensitive imaging tool for early cerebrovascular risk assessment. Detecting microvascular remodeling before clinical events may enable earlier intervention, individualized prevention, and improved outcomes in hypertension-related small vessel disease.
09:03		608-01-004. The Effect of Statin and PCSK9 Inhibitor Combination Therapy on Plaque Stability in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis Ming yu Zhou, Peng xin Hu, Yu Zou, Cong Cao, Jiankun Dai, Xiaoping Tang The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China Impact: Our findings demonstrated that the combination of statin and PCSK9 inhibitor could improve plaque stability compared to standard statin therapy, thereby offering a potential basis for optimizing treatment and intervention strategies for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
09:14		608-01-005. Integrated PET/MRI Conventional and Radiomic Features for Predicting Symptomatic Carotid Plaques Qian Li, Fan Fu, Jie Chen, Yu Zhang, Biao Li, Na Zhang Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China Impact: This integrated PET/MRI model provides a high-precision, non-invasive tool, aiding clinicians in identifying high-risk symptomatic plaques and improving cerebrovascular risk stratification.
09:25		608-01-006. Quantitative Multi-Contrast Atherosclerosis Characterization (qMATCH) for Assessing Carotid Artery Plaque Vulnerability Junxia Niu, Chen Zhang, Meng Lv, Yibin Xie, Debiao Li, Qi Yang Capital Medical University, Beijing 100020, Beijing, China Impact: T1 value derived from qMATCH can accurately evaluate carotid plaque vulnerability in patients with and without AIS. The qMATCH may be a promising quantitative tool for the accurate assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability.
09:36		608-01-007. Vessel wall imaging–dedicated rapid acquisition package (VWI-RAP) with physics-informed and region-refined deep learnin Pengcheng Wang, Jiayu Xiao, Qingle Kong, Jingxiang Zhang, William Mack, Nasim Sheikh-Bahaei, Zhaoyang Fan University of Southern California, Los Angeles, United States of America Impact: The deep learning-driven VWI-RAP achieves whole-brain vessel wall imaging in 4.5 minutes while maintaining diagnostic quality and will facilitate broader clinical adoption of VWI.
09:47		608-01-008. Multifrequency MRE of the Abdominal Aortic Wall: Segmental Stiffness and Correlation with Hemodynamical Function Xuan Wang, Yanglei Wu, Yikun Wang, Jakob Schattenfroh, Tom Meyer, Yining Wang, Jens Vogel-Claussen, Ingolf Sack, Jing Guo Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China Impact: Direct measurement of wall stiffness in the abdominal aorta with minimized blood interference using MR elastography could support risk stratification and monitoring of cardiovascular disease by anatomically-resolved stiffness maps.
09:58		608-01-009. Abbreviated Cardiovascular MR (aCMR) for Efficient and Comprehensive Etiology Diagnosis of Acute Ischemic Stroke Qingle Kong, Yang Chen, Huabin Zhu, Jiayu Xiao, Parveen Garg, Nasim Sheikh-Bahaei, Roy Poblete, May Kim-Tenser, Patrick Lyden, Zhaoyang Fan University of Southern California, Los Angeles, United States of America Impact: The aCMR-based imaging paradigm is expected to significantly enhance AIS care by improving the accuracy and efficiency of etiology diagnosis, reducing rates of cryptogenic stroke diagnosis, and effectively guiding treatment decisions for secondary stroke prevention.
10:09		608-01-010. Guided Discussion of Vessel Wall Imaging Speaker TBA
