Modeling Based Image Reconstruction in Time-Resolved Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CE-MRA)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have worked on the measurement protocol and related image reconstruction of 4D data sets in the field of time-resolved Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CE-MRA). The method aims at improving the interpolation of sparsely sampled -space data. It is based on exploiting prior knowledge on the time courses (TCs) of the image pixels, when monitoring the uptake of contrast agents in the blood vessels. The result is compared with an existing approach called 3D-TRICKS. Keywords— Magnetic resonance angiography, contrast agent, image reconstruction, scan-time reduction, modeling of pixel time courses.

High spatial and temporal resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) using compressed sensing with magnitude image subtraction
PURPOSE We propose a compressed-sensing (CS) technique based on magnitude image subtraction for high spatial and temporal resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA). METHODS Our technique integrates the magnitude difference image into the CS reconstruction to promote subtraction sparsity. Fully sampled Cartesian 3D CE-MRA datasets from 6 volunteers were retrospectively under...

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate Time-resolved MR venography (TR-MRV) of the pulmonary venous circulation using the time-resolved angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories (TWIST) method of time-resolved MRA (TR-MRA) and compare it with the more commonly used conventional Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) approach in atrial fibrillation pati...
متن کاملRecent advances in 3D time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) was first introduced for clinical studies approximately 20 years ago. Early work provided 3-4 mm spatial resolution with acquisition times in the 30-second range. Since that time there has been continuing effort to provide improved spatial resolution with reduced acquisition time, allowing high resolution 3D time-resolved studies. The pu...

INTRODUCTION The last decade has seen major advances in the performance capabilities of time-resolved contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Today, for example, it is possible to generate 3D time-resolved image sets with higher spatial resolution, wider anatomic coverage, better temporal fidelity, and improved image quality while using smaller acquisition times than what w...
