Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

High-resolution MRI, especially 7T MRA, offers the highest detection rates for deep cerebral arteries. However, further in-vivo validation is crucial to confirm the clinical reliability of these imaging techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Vascular Imaging
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Reliable visualization of deep cerebral perforating arteries remains a significant challenge in neuroimaging.
  • Optimal imaging modality for depicting these vessels is yet to be determined despite advancements in high-resolution imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and overview imaging modalities used for visualizing perforating arteries.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic performance and detection rates of various imaging techniques for cerebral perforating arteries.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library was conducted up to April 15th, 2025.
  • 106 original studies involving 6,785 participants were included, assessing imaging modalities like 7T MRA/MRI, 3T MRA/MRI, CTA, and DSA.
  • Detection rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least one detectable perforating artery per territory, analyzed using a random-effects model.

Main Results:

  • 7T MRA/MRI demonstrated the highest pooled detection rate at 94% (95% CI 0.90-0.97), followed by 3T MRA/MRI at 85% (95% CI 0.63-0.95).
  • Other modalities included 1.5T MRA/MRI, CTA, CT, DSA, and transcranial ultrasound.
  • One study validated 3T MRA in-vivo via direct intraoperative evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • High-resolution MRI, particularly 7T MRA, shows promising detection rates for deep cerebral perforating arteries.
  • Current findings may overestimate visualization due to a lack of in-vivo anatomical validation in most studies.
  • Future research must focus on rigorous in-vivo validation to establish clinical reliability.
