Representative case of a 58-year-old woman who was diagnosed with stroke before performing the CMR scan. A Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) showed high signal intensity lesions on the left centrum ovale. B time of flight cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-CMRA) showed severe stenosis (yellow arrow) in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1. C, D Curved multiplanar reconstructions of the C pre-contrast and D post-contrast HR-VWI showed a focal plaque in the left MCA with severe stenosis (stenosis ratio = 87.25%), irregular plaque surface, and grade 2 enhancement (plaque enhancement ratio = 3.13)
