A number of studies demonstrated that high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) is accurately capable of evaluating atherosclerotic plaque burden and compositions qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, HRMRI is an imaging technique with high reproducibility which has been largely utilized to monitor the treatment effect of statin for atherosclerotic diseases in clinical trials. This review will summarize the characteristics of HRMRI techniques, studies on reproducibility and clinical trials where this technique was used to monitor the treatment effect of statin for atherosclerotic diseases.%研究显示高分辨率磁共振成像技术能够准确定性和定量分析动脉粥样硬化斑块的负荷和成分特征,并具有高度可重复性,已被广泛应用于监测他汀类药物对动脉粥样硬化斑块治疗效果的临床试验中。本文将从高分辨率磁共振的成像方法、可重复性以及观察他汀类药物对动脉粥样硬化斑块疗效方面的研究进行综述,总结该技术在评估药物治疗动脉粥样硬化斑块疗效方面的应用价值。
