This is the first study to demonstrate the high prevalence of intracranial plaque in T2D patients with neither confirmed atherosclerotic disease nor symptoms by performing intracranial 3D-VWI employing 7TMRI. Investigation of intracranial VWI with 7T MRI is expected to provide novel insights allowing early intensive risk management for prevention of ischemic stroke in T2D patients.
