Abstract
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is highly prevalent and a common cause of ischaemic stroke globally. With the increasing use of endovascular treatment for acute stroke management, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have become an essential part of patient selection. In this review, we present the typical imaging findings of intracranial atherosclerosis and an overview of management as relevant to diagnostic and interventional radiologists.
