High spatiotemporal resolution contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the whole brain was performed on a compact 3T system with a 32 channel RF coil and compared to a spatial-resolution-matched study on a 60 cm bore whole-body 3T scanner. The quality of images from both scanners was excellent. Higher temporal resolution (4.18 s vs 5.75 s) on the compact 3T scanner was enabled by high performance gradients and increased PNS limits compared to the whole-body scanner.
