Abstract
2137 T1-weighted 3D dark blood TSE for carotid artery disease imaging – preliminary experience
Highlights
In carotid artery imaging, blood suppression improves vessel wall delineation
We propose a T1 weighted 3DTSE technique that suppresses blood both pre- and postcontrast in about 5.5 min
T1 contrast is achieved by centric reordering and appropriate design of the flip angle series
Summary
Blood nulling post contrast may be achieved by double IR [1] or quadruple IR [2]. These methods work with 2DTSE and have limited anatomical coverage. We propose a T1 weighted 3DTSE technique (aka SPACE) that suppresses blood both pre- and postcontrast in about 5.5 min. The isotropic 3D images and their T1 contrast may help identify lipid core in atherosclerotic plaque [3].
