Improving Dynamic MR Angiography: Iterative TWIST
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, many vascular territories are explored non-invasively for the purpose of diagnosis, therapy planning and surveillance of vascular disease. Invasive catheter angiography is almost exclusively being used during therapy and intervention. However, the benefits of invasive approaches include the ability to visualize dynamics of applied dye and may therefore provide additional information on the potential hemodynamic relevance of vascular disease or stenosis.

High-resolution dynamic CE-MRA of the thorax enabled by iterative TWIST reconstruction.
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical benefit of using a new iterative reconstruction technique fully integrated on a standard clinical scanner and reconstruction system using a TWIST acquisition for high-resolution dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA). METHODS Low-dose, high-resolution TWIST datasets of 11 patients were reconstructed using both standard GRAPPA-based...

92 www.siemens.com/magnetom-world MAGNETOM FLASH 3/2006 Introduction Siemens, a leader in advanced engineering as well as applications development, has made 3D dynamic imaging available in the late 90s for the MAGNETOM Vision. The speed of dynamic imaging got an extra boost with the strong 40 mT/m gradients available with the MAGNETOM Sonata. Since then, dynamic imaging has gone through several...

متن کاملLet’s TWIST again: Temporal and Spatial High-Resolution 3D MR-Angiography of the Hand
Compared to conventional contrastenhanced MR angiography (MRA), which provides a spatial high-resolution threedimensional (3D) MRA data set of the vascular target region, MRA with TWIST (time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories) with its high temporal resolution offers an additional dynamic component. It presents a broad range of advantages for all vascular diagnostic questions wh...
