Ferumoxytole-enhanced 4D MR angiography with retrospectively defined temporal resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In cardiovascular MRI applications, high spatial resolution is preferable for anatomical evaluation of vascular structures and high temporal resolution is desired in cardiac functional assessment. As a result, current CMR protocol usually includes repeated scans of the same anatomy with different resolution settings. To address this issue, we propose a technique that allows for retrospective trade-off between temporal and spatial resolution based on a single image acquisition. The proposed technique is applied on Ferumoxytol-enhanced 4D angiography application so that images with high temporal and high spatial resolution are available from separated reconstructions.

Non-contrast-enhanced 4D Intracranial MR Angiography with 4D NATIVE TrueFISP
Introduction: Conventional non-contrast-enhanced (NCE) MRA approaches including time-of-flight and phase contrast methods yield single frame static images or are limited in spatial resolution (typically by reverting to 2D rather than 3D methods) if multiphases ECG triggered acquisitions are used in the case of phase contrast. By administering T1-shortening contrast agents, timeresolved three-di...

PURPOSE To present a new 4D method that is designed to provide high spatial resolution MR angiograms at subsecond temporal resolution by combining different techniques of view sharing with parallel imaging at 3.0T. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the keyhole-based method, a central elliptical cylinder in k-space is repeated n times (keyhole) with a random acquisition (CENTRA), and followed by the re...
متن کاملFast whole-brain 4D contrast-enhanced MR angiography with velocity encoding using undersampled radial acquisition and highly constrained projection reconstruction: image-quality assessment in volunteer subjects.
We report on the image quality obtained by using fast contrast-enhanced whole-brain 4D radial MRA with 0.75-second temporal resolution, isotropic submillimeter spatial resolution, and velocity encoding (HYPRFlow). Images generated by HYPR-LR by using the velocity-encoded data as the constraining image were of diagnostic quality. In addition, we demonstrate that measurements of shear stress with...
متن کاملEvaluation of Intracranial Vasculatures in Healthy Subjects with Arterial-Spin-Labeling-Based 4D-MR Angiography at 3T
Contrast inherent inflow-enhanced multi-phase angiography combining multiple-phase flow-alternating inversion-recovery (CINEMA-FAIR) is an arterial-spin-labeling-based four-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (4D-MRA) technique. Two neuroradiologists independently evaluated the depiction of the intracranial vasculatures in healthy subjects with 3T 4D-MRA using CINEMA-FAIR. Our results in...
متن کاملVery Low Dose Time-resolved MR Angiography
Introduction: Time resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography has been increasingly used to evaluate the hemodynamic status of normal versus abnormal vasculatures. Fast imaging sequences, parallel imaging, and view-sharing techniques have been applied to provide the needed temporal and spatial resolution. The Gadolinium-based contrast agent is sometimes injected in double dose to enhance the ima...
