<meta name="DC.Description" content="BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High-resolution MR imaging allows the identification of culprit symptomatic plaques after the administration of gadolinium. Current high-resolution MR imaging methods are limited by 2D multiplanar views and manual sampling of ROIs. We analyzed a new 3D method to objectively quantify gadolinium plaque enhancement.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease underwent 7T high-resolution MR imaging. 3D segmentations of the plaque and its parent vessel were generated. Signal intensity probes were automatically extended from the lumen into the plaque and the vessel wall to generate 3D enhancement color maps. Plaque gadolinium (Gd) uptake was quantified from 3D color maps as gadolinium uptake = (µPlaque T1 + Gd −µPlaque T1/SDPlaque T1). Additional metrics of enhancement such as enhancement ratio, variance, and plaque-versus-parent vessel enhancement were also calculated. Conventional 2D measures of enhancement were collected for comparison.

RESULTS: Thirty-six culprit and 44 nonculprit plaques from 36 patients were analyzed. Culprit plaques had higher gadolinium uptake than nonculprit plaques ( P  &lt; .001). Gadolinium uptake was the most accurate metric for identifying culprit plaques (OR, 3.9; 95% CI 2.1–8.3). Gadolinium uptake was more sensitive (86% versus 70%) and specific (71% versus 68%) in identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D measurements. A multivariate model, including gadolinium uptake and plaque burden, identified culprit plaques with an 83% sensitivity and 86% specificity.

CONCLUSIONS: The new 3D color map method of plaque-enhancement analysis is more accurate for identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D methods. This new method generates a new set of metrics that could potentially be used to assess disease progression.

<meta name="twitter:description" content="BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High-resolution MR imaging allows the identification of culprit symptomatic plaques after the administration of gadolinium. Current high-resolution MR imaging methods are limited by 2D multiplanar views and manual sampling of ROIs. We analyzed a new 3D method to objectively quantify gadolinium plaque enhancement.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease underwent 7T high-resolution MR imaging. 3D segmentations of the plaque and its parent vessel were generated. Signal intensity probes were automatically extended from the lumen into the plaque and the vessel wall to generate 3D enhancement color maps. Plaque gadolinium (Gd) uptake was quantified from 3D color maps as gadolinium uptake = (µPlaque T1 + Gd −µPlaque T1/SDPlaque T1). Additional metrics of enhancement such as enhancement ratio, variance, and plaque-versus-parent vessel enhancement were also calculated. Conventional 2D measures of enhancement were collected for comparison.

RESULTS: Thirty-six culprit and 44 nonculprit plaques from 36 patients were analyzed. Culprit plaques had higher gadolinium uptake than nonculprit plaques ( P  &lt; .001). Gadolinium uptake was the most accurate metric for identifying culprit plaques (OR, 3.9; 95% CI 2.1–8.3). Gadolinium uptake was more sensitive (86% versus 70%) and specific (71% versus 68%) in identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D measurements. A multivariate model, including gadolinium uptake and plaque burden, identified culprit plaques with an 83% sensitivity and 86% specificity.

CONCLUSIONS: The new 3D color map method of plaque-enhancement analysis is more accurate for identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D methods. This new method generates a new set of metrics that could potentially be used to assess disease progression.

Current high-resolution MR imaging methods are limited by 2D multiplanar views and manual sampling of ROIs. We analyzed a new 3D method to objectively quantify gadolinium plaque enhancement.</p></div><div id="sec-2" class="subsection"><p id="p-3"><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> Patients with stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease underwent 7T high-resolution MR imaging. 3D segmentations of the plaque and its parent vessel were generated. Signal intensity probes were automatically extended from the lumen into the plaque and the vessel wall to generate 3D enhancement color maps. Plaque gadolinium (Gd) uptake was quantified from 3D color maps as gadolinium uptake = (µ<sub>Plaque T1 + Gd</sub> −µ<sub>Plaque T1</sub>/SD<sub>Plaque T1</sub>). Additional metrics of enhancement such as enhancement ratio, variance, and plaque-versus-parent vessel enhancement were also calculated. Conventional 2D measures of enhancement were collected for comparison.</p></div><div id="sec-3" class="subsection"><p id="p-4"><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Thirty-six culprit and 44 nonculprit plaques from 36 patients were analyzed. Culprit plaques had higher gadolinium uptake than nonculprit plaques (<em>P </em>&lt; .001). Gadolinium uptake was the most accurate metric for identifying culprit plaques (OR, 3.9; 95% CI 2.1–8.3). Gadolinium uptake was more sensitive (86% versus 70%) and specific (71% versus 68%) in identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D measurements. A multivariate model, including gadolinium uptake and plaque burden, identified culprit plaques with an 83% sensitivity and 86% specificity.</p></div><div id="sec-4" class="subsection"><p id="p-5"><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> The new 3D color map method of plaque-enhancement analysis is more accurate for identifying culprit plaques than conventional 2D methods.

More accurate methods of detecting the presence of atherosclerotic plaques and monitoring disease progression are needed. There is growing evidence that high-resolution MR imaging (HR-MR imaging) can be used to better characterize atherosclerotic plaques than current luminal imaging modalities. HR-MR imaging can be used to determine plaque burden (PB) and the remodeling index (RI) and detect plaque enhancement after the administration of gadolinium (Gd) contrast. Two meta-analyses of biomarkers of symptomatic ICAD have shown that plaque enhancement has the strongest association with the presence of culprit symptomatic plaques.<sup><a id="xref-ref-2-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-2">2</a>,<a id="xref-ref-3-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-3">3</a></sup></p><p id="p-7">Different biologic processes lead to plaque enhancement, including neovascularizaion, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The analysis of atherosclerotic carotid plaques has shown a correlation between these histopathologic changes and plaque enhancement.<sup><a id="xref-ref-4-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a></sup> Plaque enhancement is highly suggestive of an “active” plaque that might be symptomatic.<sup><a id="xref-ref-5-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5</a></sup> Moreover, strong plaque enhancement suggests greater neovascularization and increased endothelial permeability. Hence, the exact quantification of plaque enhancement could potentially provide an insight into the biology of intracranial atherosclerosis, by detecting changes such as wall thickening and hemorrhage.<sup><a id="xref-ref-6-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-6">6</a></sup> Accurately quantifying plaque enhancement also has the potential of identifying ICAD mimics such as venous plexus contamination and thrombus recanalization, among others.<sup><a id="xref-ref-7-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-7">7</a></sup></p><p id="p-8">Current analyses of plaque enhancement are based on 2D imaging sampling and manual determination of ROIs.<sup><a id="xref-ref-8-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-8">8</a>,<a id="xref-ref-9-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a></sup> This approach is limited by sampling errors and the plane of view chosen to draw the ROIs. We describe a new 3D method of plaque sampling that captures the entire plaque and parent artery. This method generates hundreds of data points to determine the level of plaque enhancement, overcoming the limitation of restricting the analysis to a specific plane of view that might not represent the enhancement of the entire plaque. We hypothesize that this new method of 3D plaque enhancement color mapping will lead to better identification of symptomatic atherosclerotic plaques.</p><div class="section materials-methods" id="sec-5"><h2 class="">MATERIALS AND METHODS</h2><div id="sec-6" class="subsection"><h3>Image Acquisition</h3><p id="p-9">After approval from the institutional review board (University of Iowa) and obtaining informed consent, patients with stroke attributable to ICAD underwent 7T MR imaging.

Images were obtained between August 2018 and July 2021.</p><p id="p-10">HR-MR imaging was acquired with a MR950 7T scanner (GE Healthcare) using an 8-channel head coil. 3D T1-weighted FSE (Cube; GE Healthcare) images were acquired both before and 5 minutes after the administration of Gd. Technical parameters for acquisition are described in the Online Supplemental Data. Images were analyzed in at least 3 planes to identify the presence of atherosclerotic plaques using the PACS. Plaque presence was defined as wall thickening of a vessel segment compared with the proximal and/or normal vessel segment.<sup><a id="xref-ref-9-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a></sup> A senior investigator analyzed the following arterial segments in each subject to identify the presence of plaques: supraclinoid internal carotid arteries, MCAs, anterior cerebral arteries, V4 segments of the vertebral arteries, basilar artery, and posterior cerebral arteries. The specific stroke mechanism due to ICAD was also adjudicated by the senior investigator on the basis of previously described criteria.<sup><a id="xref-ref-12-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-12">12</a></sup> The Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID)-based degree of stenosis, RI, and the area degree of stenosis were manually calculated in several planes, as previously described.<sup><a id="xref-ref-13-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a>-<a id="xref-ref-15-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-15">15</a></sup> PB was calculated with the following formula: [(Area of the Vessel Wall at Maximal Stenosis – Area of the Lumen at Maximal Stenosis/Area of the Vessel Wall at Maximal Stenosis) × 100].<sup><a id="xref-ref-15-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-15">15</a></sup></p></div><div id="sec-7" class="subsection"><h3>Plaque Characterization</h3><p id="p-11">Plaques were detected by a senior investigator, and culprit status was adjudicated by 2 investigators with extensive experience in the analysis of plaques using HR-MR imaging. If there was disagreement, the senior investigator adjudicated the culprit status. Generally, a culprit plaque was defined as a lesion in the ipsilateral vascular territory of an area of infarction accompanied by clinical symptoms. If &gt;1 plaque was present in the same vascular territory, the most stenotic lesion was selected for analysis. Areas of cerebral infarction related to the presence of culprit plaques were identified in DWI. Other plaques in the same vascular territory of culprit plaques were excluded from the analysis. Plaques located in other vascular territories were considered asymptomatic or nonculprit. Disagreements were resolved by consensus and after reviewing additional images and clinical data. The morphologic characteristics and enhancement patterns of culprit plaques were compared with those of nonculprit plaques. Additionally, the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) was assessed by 2 investigators (S.S. and E.A.S.) by identifying T1 hyperintensity within the plaque.<sup><a id="xref-ref-16-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a></sup></p></div><div id="sec-8" class="subsection"><h3>3D Plaque Analysis</h3><p id="p-12">We modified a previously described semiautomated method of analyzing Gd enhancement in the wall of brain aneurysms to study plaques and their parent arteries.<sup><a id="xref-ref-17-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-17">17</a></sup> Luminal segmentations in the vascular territory of the plaque were created manually using 3D Slicer (<a href="http://www.slicer.org">http://www.slicer.org</a>) on T1 and T1 + Gd images.<sup><a id="xref-ref-18-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-18">18</a></sup> The diseased arterial segment containing the plaque was segmented at the plaque and extended approximately 5 mm beyond the plaque boundaries so that the plaque and the contiguous parent artery were included.

The high spatial resolution of 7T imaging made it possible to accurately estimate the arterial wall and plaque thickness.

Several enhancement metrics generated through this method enable detailed analysis of plaque and its parent artery enhancement. This new method was more accurate in detecting and quantifying plaque enhancement than the conventional 2D multiplanar method.</p><p id="p-41">Gd uptake was the most accurate enhancement metric in detecting culprit plaques (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.1–8.3). This metric quantifies the difference of enhancement between T1 and T1 + Gd images. It is similar to the “enhancement ratio,” which has been shown in other studies to be an independent identifier of stroke in patients with ICAD.<sup><a id="xref-ref-22-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a></sup> One key difference is that Gd uptake accounts for the inherent heterogenicity of enhancement on T1 images. This metric analyzes plaques individually. Other metrics such as mean plaque enhancement ratio, plaque versus arterial enhancement, and plaque enhancement variance were also significant in detecting culprit plaques. This last parameter was also described by Shi et al<sup><a id="xref-ref-20-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20</a></sup> as a strong identifier of culprit plaques. The signal dispersion detected in the analysis of histograms in their study was confirmed in our study. This heterogeneity in the distribution of enhancement can be seen in the 3D color maps of the plaque and parent vessel (<a id="xref-fig-1-2" class="xref-fig" href="#F1">Figs 1</a> and <a id="xref-fig-3-3" class="xref-fig" href="#F3">3</a>). Subtle color differences along the diseased arterial segment reflect different enhancement patterns, which ultimately suggest different biologic processes and stages of disease progression.<sup><a id="xref-ref-6-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-6">6</a></sup> IPH is a strong identifier of culprit plaques.<sup><a id="xref-ref-16-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a>,<a id="xref-ref-20-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20</a></sup> The new method of plaque-enhancement analysis captured an increased SI dispersion in T1 due to IPH. Detailed quantification of plaque enhancement has the potential of identifying IPH and, in some instances, even determining the response to medical therapy.<sup><a id="xref-ref-23-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-23">23</a></sup></p><p id="p-42">3D methods of vessel analysis have been used previously to visualize morphologic features such as vessel caliber and angulation.<sup><a id="xref-ref-14-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-14">14</a></sup> The analysis of vessel wall geometries has been shown to influence the effectiveness of endovascular interventions.<sup><a id="xref-ref-21-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a></sup> Volumetric 3D maps of ICAD provide a more detailed characterization of PB, RI, and subtle differences in plaque morphology within different vascular territories. Qiao et al<sup><a id="xref-ref-14-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-14">14</a></sup> showed that posterior circulation arteries have a greater capacity for positive remodeling than anterior circulation arteries. Their 3D volumetric map made it possible to quantify the wall thickness and lumen area of the entire vessel segment. Similarly, our 3D analysis provides an objective survey of enhancement of the target arterial segment. Although our analysis is not focused on plaque geometry, it has the potential to generate vessel wall metrics that are not limited to plaque enhancement. Quantifying enhancement through 3D analysis allows easier identification of potential culprit plaques.</p><p id="p-43">Identifying symptomatic plaques through HR-MR imaging could lead to the diagnosis of stroke etiology. Fakih et al<sup><a id="xref-ref-9-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a></sup> reported that an analysis of a cryptogenic stroke cohort showed that approximately 73% of patients had an underlying atherosclerotic plaque that most likely was the cause of the stroke. A recent review showed that more than half of patients without significant luminal stenosis might have a culprit intracranial plaque identified on HR-MR imaging.<sup><a id="xref-ref-24-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24</a></sup> Generating 3D enhancement color maps for detailed analysis of vessel segments could increase the detection of atherosclerotic changes in patients with cryptogenic stroke. In this study, we found that objectively quantifying Gd uptake combined with PB achieved a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 86% in detecting culprit plaques. Moreover, when the new 3D method was compared with previous work that used 2D measurements of enhancement,<sup><a id="xref-ref-9-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a></sup> it proved to be more sensitive and specific.</p><p id="p-44">This was an exploratory pilot study testing a new method to quantify plaque enhancement; therefore, it has several limitations. First, a total of 80 plaques were analyzed, which is standard for 7T MR imaging studies. However, a larger study would be optimal for defining better thresholds of culprit plaque detection. Generating precise segmentations can be time-consuming and requires several quality checkpoints. Each plaque and vessel segmentation requires approximately 60 minutes. Future studies should focus on accurate automated segmentation to reduce the processing time. In some cases, our registration pipeline did not coregister T1 and T1 + Gd sequences well due to image distortion. T1 and T1 + Gd images were segmented individually, increasing the overall analysis time to limit this artifact. Processing time could be shortened if one segmentation is performed in coregistered T1 and T1 + Gd reconstructions. Co-registration may be better implemented using 3T HR-MR imaging, which has fewer challenges for image registration than 7T HR-MR imaging. Once segmentation processing has been completed, generating 3D color maps is automatic and the quantification of plaque enhancement is highly reliable (<a id="xref-fig-1-3" class="xref-fig" href="#F1">Fig 1</a>). A second limitation is that although the software was engineered for plaque-enhancement quantification, other metrics such as PB, RI, and area of stenosis were obtained manually from source images.</p></div><div class="section conclusions" id="sec-16"><h2 class="">CONCLUSIONS</h2><p id="p-45">Detecting and quantifying plaque enhancement through 3D color maps are promising for characterizing ICAD.
