Comparison of great artery dimensions in 3-D dual-phase SSFP, compared with 3D CE-MRA and phase-contrast imaging (magnitude image)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The dimensions of great vessels are measured in different methods in different institutes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of 3D dual phase steady-state free-precession(3D-DP SSFP)for measuring great arteries dimension, compared with 3D contrastenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D CEMRA) and 2D phase contrast imaging (Magnitude image) (2DPC-MI), in order to find which was the most suitable and reproducible technique for follow-up.

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of performing single breathhold three-dimensional (3D) thoracic noncontrast MR angiography (NC-MRA) using highly accelerated parallel imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a single breathhold NC MRA pulse sequence using balanced steady state free precession (SSFP) readout and highly accelerated parallel imaging. In 17 subjects, highly accelerated nonc...

Purpose In light of recent findings linking gadolinium based contrast media to the onset of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), it has become increasingly important to use non-contrast MR Angiography techniques to evaluate and diagnose renal artery stenosis and arterial disease. Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) [1-3] is a non-contrast technique that has the ability to provide ...
متن کاملMR angiography of the great anterior radiculomedullary artery (Adamkiewicz artery) validated by digital subtraction angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging of the anterior superficial spinal cord arteries by MR angiography is hindered by their small calibers and the similarity in configuration with the anterior superficial spinal cord veins. To validate the location and spatial configuration of the great anterior radiculomedullary artery, (ie, the Adamkiewicz artery [AKA]), contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) w...
متن کاملComparison of systolic and diastolic 3D SSFP for arterial dimensions and coronary artery origins in patients with congenital heart disease
Background 3D steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences allow for acquisition of isotropic datasets without the need for IV placement and contrast administration. Similar to MR angiography, they can be post-processed using multiplanar reconstruction, allowing for cross-sectional vessel measurements. They are also ECG-gated, allowing for visualization of coronary artery origins, which cannot...
