Basi-parallel Anatomical Scanning (BPAS)-MRI Can Improve Discrimination of Vertebral Artery Dissection from Atherosclerosis and Hypoplasia

Adding BPAS imaging to conventional MRI and MRA sequences can improve diagnostic capability and sensitivity in suspected VAD cases and be helpful in differentiating it from other causes of vertebral artery narrowing such as atherosclerosis or hypoplasia.
