Résumé
The severity of chronic cerebral ischemia can be assessed using cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge, which is measured by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT); however, this is an invasive method. We investigated whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can assess impaired CVR in preoperative patients with chronic cerebral ischemia and compared it to SPECT-CVR. Forty-seven patients with unilateral cervical carotid artery stenosis underwent diffusion-weighted MRI with 11 b-values in the range of 0-800 s/mm The IVIM-f and D values in the affected side were significantly higher than those in the unaffected side (median: 7.74% vs. 7.45%, p = 0.027; 0.816 vs. 0.801 10 The IVIM perfusion parameter, f, can noninvasively assess impaired CVR with high sensitivity and specificity in patients with unilateral cervical carotid artery stenosis.

CONCLUSIONS
The IVIM perfusion parameter, f, can noninvasively assess impaired CVR with high sensitivity and specificity in patients with unilateral cervical carotid artery stenosis.
