    AbstractAssessment of cerebral vasculopathies is challenging and requires understanding the utility of different imaging methods. Various techniques are available to image the vessel lumen, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Bolus-based CT and MR angiography requires careful timing of a contrast bolus to provide optimal luminal enhancement. Non-contrast MRA techniques do not require a contrast agent and can provide images with little venous contamination. Digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard but is invasive, while VW-MRI provides a non-invasive way of assessing vessel wall pathology. Conventional brain MRI has high sensitivity in the diagnosis of vasculitis but findings are nonspecific.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
