72 CHAPTER 3 may help differentiate between different vessel wall pathologic conditions, and the technical limitations and pitfalls in the assessment of intracranial vessel wall MRI. Further technical improvements will enable (among others) reduced acquisition time, while further histological validation of these vessel wall MRI sequences will aid in a better understanding of normal vessel wall thickness variance, ultimately leading to better knowledge of the underlying pathologic conditions of lesions seen on intracranial vessel wall MRI.
