## Abstract ## Purpose: To explore the value of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (^1^HβMRSI) in patients with stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) / middle cerebral artery (MCA). ## Materials and Methods: Fifty noninfarcted patients with stenosis or occlusion
A total of 106 patients with 112 internal carotid artery occlusions were investigated by cranial computed tomography and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (CO2 test), giving a measure of the cerebrovascular reserve capacity. The morphological patterns of the ischaemic lesions were classified into
