An investigational version of fat-suppressed black blood (BB) 3D FSE T1WI (CUBE T1) with imaging coverage of the neck and head and acceptable scan time might be useful in assessment of stenotic lesion in the carotid arteries. The purpose was to evaluate the detection of the stenotic lesion in proximal internal carotid artery using BB imaging with CUBE T1 in comparison of MRA with 3D TOF. This technique can be better to detect the stenotic lesions and the early stage of atherosclerotic lesions than MRA.
