A magnetization-prepared sequence, T-2-Prep-IR, exploits T-1, T-2, and chemical shift differences to suppress background tissues relative to arterial blood, The resulting flow-independent angiograms depict vessels with any ...

To reduce the scan time of time of flight or phase contrast angiography sequences, fast three-dimensional k-space trajectories can be employed. The best 3D trajectory depends on tolerable scan time, readout time, geometric ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) accounting for the majority of cases. X-ray coronary angiography and computed tomography coronary ...

© 2020 American College of Cardiology FoundationCoronary artery disease remains the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Invasive X-ray angiography and coronary computed tomography angiography are ...

PURPOSE: To compare the time-of-flight and contrast-enhanced- magnetic resonance angiography techniques in a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance unit with digital subtraction angiography with the latest flat-panel technology and ...

In this work, three-dimensional (3D) spiral imaging has been utilized for magnetic resonance coronary angiography, Spiral-based 3D techniques can dramatically reduce imaging time requirements compared with 3D Fourier ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single most common cause of death worldwide. Recent technological developments with coronary cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography (CCMRA) allow high-resolution free-breathing ...

Arterial spin labeling is a well-known noninvasive angiography technique, which does not necessitate the use of a contrast agent. arterial spin labeling is still clinically underused because of several challenges: (1) long ...
