0.125 mm³ spatial resolution steady‐state MR angiography of the thighs with a blood pool contrast agent using the quadrature body coil only at 1.5 Tesla

Abstract

The 0.125 mm(3) spatial resolution 3D-CEMRA of the thighs with a BPCA is feasible using a quadrature body coil exclusively with excellent image quality despite long acquisition times. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2014;40:996-1001. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dixon-based fat-free MR-angiography compared to first pass and steady-state high-resolution MR-angiography using a blood pool contrast agent

“…When compared to standard arterial-only first pass MR-Angiography (FPMRA), imaging during equilibrium phase of a blood pool contrast agent (steady state) has been shown to provide higher image quality and high vessel-to-background contrasts [9][10][11][12].…”
