Abstract Objective To explore application value of low-dose contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging (DSC-PWI) at 3.0T in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Thirty patients with acute ischemic stroke in Nanjing First Hospital from October 2017 to March 2018 were enrolled. All the patients underwent low-dose CE-MRA and DSC-PWI examination, and DSA examination was performed within 24 h. Half-dose contrast agent concentration (0.05 mmol/kg) was used in both CE-MRA and DSC-PWI. The accuracy of CE-MRA in the diagnosis of arterial stenosis was evaluated by comparing with DSA. Inter-observer agreement tests for diagnosis of arterial stenosis with CE-MRA and mismatched areas with DSC-PWI were tested by Kappa analysis. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CE-MRA in the diaognosis of low grade (<50%) and high grade (>50%) arterial stenosis of the intracranial and cervical arteries were 82.4%, 100%, 100%, 93.8%, 100% and 82.4%, 93.8%, 100%, respectively. The inter-observer agreements in the diagnosis of arterial stenosis with CE-MRA and mismatch area with DSC-PWI were both excellent (κ = 0.87, 0.86). Conclusion Low-dose CE-MRA and DSC-PWI combination at 3.0T MRI is a feasible MRI scanning protocal for patinets with acute ischemic stroke.
