Compared with non-stenotic sides, stenotic sides showed smaller diameters (2.873 ± 0.456 mm vs. 2.993 ± 0.360 mm, P = 0.002) and larger tortuosity index (7.61% vs. 6.45%, P = 0.048). The S-shape M1 pre-bifurcation segment was independently associated with the stenotic sides (OR = 3.509, 95% CI 1.176-10.468, P = 0.024). The stenotic side was worse fitted to Murray's law (mean square error 0.326 vs. 0.313).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The morphology of the M1 pre-bifurcation segment was associated with middle cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":19422,"journal":{"name":"Neuroradiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143449624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
