Time-resolved 4D-MRA provides important information for
cerebrovascular diseases. The use of superselective
pCASL for time-resolved 4D-MRA is, however, impeded
because of the need for a long labeling duration.
Hadamard time-encoded pCASL was recently proposed as an
approach to increase the SNR and time efficiency of
multiple timing acquisitions. The purpose of this study
is to introduce a new superselective pCASL 4D-MRA
sequence which combines the Hadamard encoding pCASL and
Look-Locker readout with reduced number of phases to
achieve both 1) observation of arterial inflow phase,
and 2) better depiction of peripheral arteries at later
phases.
