Abstract: This study discussed the value of rapid three-dimensional MRI of vascular wall (CS-3D MERGE) technology assessment for acute cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis. Chosen 68 patients with ischemic cerebral infarction as observation group and 50 patients with transient ischemic attack as control group, both groups were examined by CS-3D MERGE. Analyzed the differences of the degree of middle cerebral artery stenosis, plaque remodeling index, enhancement degree and eccentricity index between the two groups, and CS-3D MERGE was analyzed to determine the degree of carotid artery stenosis and the nature of plaque in observation group. The index of middle cerebral artery plaque reconstruction index and intensification degree in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of reconstruction index and intensification degree in diagnosis of cerebral infarction were 0.839 and 0.671 respectively (P<0.05). In the observation group the Kappa value of CS-3D MERGE diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) results were 0.825 (P<0.05), which showed good consistency. The Kappa value of CS-3D MERGE in determining the nature of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and postoperative pathological results was 0.789 (P<0.05), which showed good consistency. CS-3D MERGE has a good application value in the diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.
