Interleaved Variable Density Sampling for Combined Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI and MRA of the Liver

FIG3. High quality MR angiograms were possible using an arterial phase (typically the first timeframe) of the IVD time-series, in all patients. On this MIP, note the clear delineation of a variant of the trifurcation of the common hepatic artery into right hepatic artery (arrow), left hepatic artery (filled arrowhead) and gastroduodenal artery (*). Also clearly depicted is the variant of two left renal arteries (hollow arrowhead).
