Modern rapid magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have led to widespread use of
the modality in cardiac imaging. Despite this progress, many MR studies suffer from image …

Safe, fast, accurate contrast arteriography can be obtained utilizing gadolinium (Gd) and 3D
MR data acquisition for diagnosing vascular diseases. Optimizing contrast enhanced MRA …

Purpose To determine whether acute transient dyspnea and/or arterial phase image
degradation occurs more or less often after intravenous administration of gadoxetate …

Undersampled projection reconstruction (PR) is investigated as an alternative method for
MRA (MR angiography). In conventional 3D Fourier transform (FT) MRA, resolution in the …

PURPOSE: To investigate pharmacokinetic and physiologic factors that determine the time
to peak intravenous contrast medium enhancement in computed tomographic (CT) and …

This book will familiarize the reader with the basic principles of 3D contrast MRA. All relevant
technical aspects are addressed, imaging protocols are provided, and tailored imaging …

In magnetic resonance angiography, contrast agents are frequently used to help highlight
arteries over background tissue. Unfortunately, enhancing veins hamper the visualization of …

PURPOSE: To evaluate gadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional auto-triggered elliptic
centric-ordered (ATECO) magnetic resonance (MR) venography for imaging of the …

For time‐resolved acquisitions with k‐space undersampling, a simulation method was
developed for selecting imaging parameters based on minimization of errors in signal …

Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) was used to improve the performance of three‐dimensional
contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D CE‐MRA). Utilizing an array of …
