Inhance (Inflow Inversion Recovery) Non-contrast Renal MRA: Comparison with 3D Gadolinium Enhanced MRA in Clinical Patients
Purpose: Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography (CE-MRA) is a widely accepted technique for evaluation of the renal arteries; however, recent concerns regarding the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) after gadolinium contrast agent administration in patients with reduced renal function have emphasized the need for robust non-contrast MRA methods. One such technique is steady state fre...
متن کامل3.0T contrast-enhanced, submilimeter MRA of the supraaortic arteries: does the signal gain at high field strength allow to replace the phased array coil by the quadrature body coil?
Purpose of the study was to evaluate contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE MRA) of the supraaortic arteries at 3.0T using the quadrature body coil as transmitter and receiver. CE MRA was performed with randomly segmented central k-space ordering (CENTRA) in 43 patients and 5 volunteers using a large FOV (350 mm) and a high image matrix of 432 x 432 (nonzerofilled voxel: 0.66 mm3).Our experience ...
متن کاملFollow-up of coiled cerebral aneurysms at 3T: comparison of 3D time-of-flight MR angiography and contrast-enhanced MR angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our aim was to compare contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) and 3D time-of-flight (TOF) MRA at 3T for follow-up of coiled cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two patients treated with Guglielmi detachable coils for 54 cerebral aneurysms were evaluated at 3T MRA. 3D TOF MRA (TR/TE = 23/3.5; SENSE factor = 2.5) and CE-MRA by using a 3D ultrafast gradient-...
متن کاملSingle breath-hold non-contrast thoracic mra using highly-accelerated parallel imaging with a 32-element coil array
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...
متن کاملA comparison of 4D time-resolved MRA with keyhole and 3D time-of-flight MRA at 3.0 T for the evaluation of cerebral aneurysms
BACKGROUND A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm (CA) is a devastating event associated with high rates of mortality. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), as a noninvasive technique, is typically used initially. The object of our study is to evaluate the feasibility of 4D time-resolved MRA with keyhole (4D-TRAK) for the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of...
