Real-time projection MR angiography: feasibility study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraarterial injections of small doses of gadopentetate dimeglumine were combined with a fast spoiled-gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) sequence to obtain real-time projection angiographic images of the rabbit aorta and canine coronary arteries. Arterial filling and washout, as well as venous and perfusion phases, were clearly displayed, demonstrating that arterial fluoroscopy in which an MR technique is used is feasible.

Inflow Inversion Recovery MR Angiography of Renal Arteries at 3.0 T: A Feasibility Study
Purpose Noncontrast MR angiography for the imaging of the renal vasculature at 1.5 T has been reported in several studies (1, 2). In recent years, 3.0-T MR systems are being used clinically because of the great advantage in signal-to-noise ratio. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of noncontrast MR angiography of the renal arteries using an Inflow Inversion Recovery (I...
متن کاملHelical CT angiography: dynamic cerebrovascular imaging in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of helical CT cerebrovascular imaging (CTCVI) in children and to make initial comparisons with MR angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). METHODS Twenty-six patients, ages 3 days to 17 years, were examined with CTCVI. Patients were scanned with 1-mm collimation and 2:1 pitch 30 seconds after the init...
متن کاملMR angiography of ruptured aneurysms in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage.
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of high-resolution MR angiography for the prospective diagnosis of ruptured aneurysms in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS We used 3-D time-of-flight MR angiography with a large image matrix (193 x 512 frequency-encoding steps), magnetization transfer saturation, and a variable flip-angle excitation (tilted optimized nonsaturating excitation [TONE]) to s...
متن کاملIntegration of Projection Profile Matching into Clinical MR Scanner System for Real-Time Organ Tracking and Image Registration
We propose integrating projection profile matching into a 1.5 Tesla clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner system to track a target organ in real-time for MRI guided therapy. As soon as a scanner acquires echoes, MR echo data are transferred immediately from the scanner to an “on-thefly” processing computer that executes projection profile matching, image reconstruction, image registration an...
متن کامل3D-Rotational Phase-Contrast MR Angiography
Introduction For many applications of MRI angiography (MRA), high spatial resolution images obtained in reasonable scan times are required. For significantly decreasing the image acquisition time, projection reconstruction based approaches have been proposed, using highly undersampled two-dimensional projections [1,2]. These methods have e.g. been successfully applied to temporally resolved MRA...
