DANTE pulse trains can be used to suppress moving blood
signal with minimal impact to the static tissue signal.
We introduce an inversion recovery prepared 3D
DANTE-FLASH (denoted as IR-DASH) that is able to
generate 1 mm isotropic resolution full brain images
with attenuated fluids (arterial blood and CSF) signal
and comparable CNR(WM/GM) to conventional MP-RAGE
images. The preliminary results showed that segmentation
of grey matter could be significantly improved due to
the blood suppression of DANTE pulse trains compared
with conventional MP-RAGE brain structure images.
