| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research targeted the perforating artery of the deep gray matter. Firstly, its visualization was successfully conducted using a new scan method of FSBB at 3T. The visualization was also confirmed on 7T. Secondly, its pathological changes caused by such factors as hypertension are under analysis now. Thirdly, for structural changes caused by the perforating artery, methodological validation was conducted on volumetry and T1 value quantitation. Diffusion tensor imaging was also conducted to investigate small structures in the brain. Moya-moya disease was selected as a representative case for a pathological condition related to the perforating artery and the investigational results was reported.
