Abstract
2121 spin-labeled projection MR angiography of the carotid arteries
Highlights
Magnetic resonance angiographic assessment of the extracranial carotid arteries is typically performed with use of gadoliunium-based contrast media
The first image set is acquired after blood upstream of the imaging volume is tagged by an RF pulse, while the second image set is acquired without application of a tagging RF pulse
The carotid artery was clearly visualized with little background signal
Summary
Magnetic resonance angiographic assessment of the extracranial carotid arteries is typically performed with use of gadoliunium-based contrast media. Gadolinium-based contrast media, have been shown to be causative of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis [1]. To present an arterial spin-labeling method for rapidly generating projection MR angiograms of the carotid arteries without use of contrast media
