    MRIDLR significantly enhances image quality and diagnostic performance for carotid atherosclerotic plaques compared to conventional MRI and fast MRI.

  • 2

    The average scanning time for MRIDLR and MRIFast was reduced by 12.4 minutes, approximately 63.2%, compared to conventional MRI.

  • 3

    MRIDLR demonstrated significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio than MRIFast, with no significant difference compared to conventional MRI.

  • 4

    Subjective image quality ratings were significantly higher for MRIDLR than both MRIC and MRIFast, indicating improved diagnostic capabilities.

  • 5

    MRIDLR effectively diagnosed critical plaque features, enhancing concordance with surgical pathology findings and contributing to stroke prevention.
