Barriers to Intracranial MR Vessel Wall Imaging Adoption: An AJR Expert Panel Review

Intracranial MR vessel wall imaging is underutilized due to barriers in technical implementation, education, workflow, and evidence. Broader adoption requires standardized acquisition, coordinated education, workflow integration, and multicenter studies demonstrating patient ben…

• The four barrier domains are technical implementation, education/expertise, clinical workflow/communication, and evidence generation.
• Overcoming barriers requires collaboration among radiologists, technologists, referring clinicians, MRI physicists, and vendors.
• Standardized acquisition protocols and multicenter studies are needed to demonstrate management impact and patient benefit.
