Abstract

Pulsation artifact on gradient echo images with ultrashort TE (i.e., < 3 msec) and intermediate TR is primarily from view-to-view amplitude modulation. Paramagnetic contrast agents increase the signal from blood during diastole without increasing the intensity of unsaturated systolic blood, decreasing signal modulation between systole and diastole. In a phantom and in humans, artifact decreased or remained the same following contrast enhancement.
