Fast Inversion Recovery Magnetic Resonance Angiography (FIR-MRA) of the Intracranial Arteries
Introduction –3D time-of-flight (TOF) [1] provides excellent vessel-to-background contrast in intracranial MRA, but is subject to inplane saturation and incomplete venous suppression. Spin-labeling [2-3] may be used to perform MRA [4-5], but typically requires long inversion intervals with inherently long acquisition times. We have developed a 3D fast inversion recovery MRA (FIR-MRA) that uses ...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography carotid arteries.
Angiography Carotid Arteries To the Editor: We were very interested to read the recent study by Johnston et al1 regarding the use of contrast-enhanced MRA (CEMRA) for carotid stenosis. The authors correctly highlight in their introduction the limitations of many current studies of noninvasive tests. We, however, remain to be convinced that their own study is an adequate reflection of the perfor...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of Intracranial Arteries in 4-Dimensional Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Angiography
The development of a highly effective phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) technique named phase-contrast vastly undersampled isotropic projection reconstruction (PC-VIPR) has improved the ability to image blood flow in the brain. The technique allows for the acquisition of temporally resolved volume images with high spatial resolution. Utilizing these improvements is of importanc...
متن کاملFast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MR of intracranial infections.
PURPOSE To assess the usefulness of fast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MR sequences in the diagnosis of intracranial infectious diseases. METHODS We compared fast FLAIR images with conventional spin-echo images (T1- and T2-weighted) obtained in 20 patients with infectious diseases (six with encephalitis, five with brain abscesses, three with meningitis, two with meningoencephali...
متن کاملImportance of Contrast-Enhanced Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Various Intracranial Pathologic Conditions
Intracranial lesions may show contrast enhancement through various mechanisms that are closely associated with the disease process. The preferred magnetic resonance sequence in contrast imaging is T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) at most institutions. However, lesion enhancement is occasionally inconspicuous on T1WI. Although fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences are commonly consider...
