3D volume-selective turbo spin echo for carotid artery wall imaging with navigator detection of swallowing.
PURPOSE To improve 3D volume-selective turbo spin echo (TSE) carotid artery wall imaging by incorporating navigators to reduce artifacts caused by swallowing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Images were acquired on a Siemens Magnetom Sonata 1.5T scanner. 3D volume-selective TSE scans of the carotid arteries were acquired in six healthy volunteers. A cross-pair navigator placed on the back of the tongue...
متن کاملVolume-selective 3D turbo spin echo imaging for vascular wall imaging and distensibility measurement.
PURPOSE To use a volume-selective 3D turbo spin echo (TSE) technique to image the carotid artery wall and measure distensibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A high-resolution volume-selective 3D TSE sequence has been developed. Volume selection is accomplished by orthogonal gradients for the 90 degrees and 180 degrees excitations and allows a 3D volume of vessel wall to be imaged in a relatively s...
متن کاملProspective swallowing motion self-gating: a feasibility study in carotid artery wall MRI using 3D variable-flip-angle TSE
Background 3D black-blood MRI is a promising imaging modality for carotid artery wall imaging but is inherently susceptible to motion. Previous work shown that swallowing can result in the greatest motion at the carotid bifurcation and its vicinity (1). A self-gating (SG) method in combination with a 3D variable-flip-angle turbo spinecho sequence, SPACE, has recently been proposed for gating sw...
متن کاملReproducibility of coronary vessel wall imaging techniques
Background Coronary wall thickness measurements must be highly reproducible to be useful in longitudinal studies. While 2D turbo-spin-echo (TSE) and spiral techniques are commonly used, 3D techniques reduce partial-volume effects and allow greater vessel coverage. Recently, 3D coronary wall imaging was demonstrated with 100% respiratory efficiency (RE) using beat-to-beat respiratory motion corr...
متن کاملHigh resolution 3D spiral coronary vessel wall imaging with >99% respiratory efficiency using beat to beat respiratory motion correction: quantitative comparison with navigator gated 2D spiral and turbo spin echo imaging
Introduction: Dark blood coronary artery wall imaging has demonstrated the ability to detect vessel wall thickening in subjects with non-significant coronary heart disease [1]. For high resolution imaging, studies are generally performed with diaphragmatic navigator gating which has an inherently low respiratory efficiency (RE) and is further compromised by respiratory drift through the long ac...
