Introduction

The goal of the ASNR Vessel Wall Imaging Study Group is to advance our understanding of cerebrovascular diseases by developing and support vessel wall imaging protocols and clinical / translational studies. Our objectives are:

• Develop uniform protocols for clinical implementation and reimbursement
• Stimulate research in the field, including multicenter investigations of the pathophysiology and risk factors of neurovascular disease
• Attract people with similar interests in vessel wall imaging from around the world

Promote education and teaching mechanisms in the field (i.e., webinar), and present a unified voice for achieving vendor support for protocol development
