Identifying the arteries and veins is critical for
diagnosis and prognosis in certain brain diseases. A
dual-echo sequence has been proposed to visualize
arteries by inflow effect and veins by BOLD effect. This
study aimed to improve the sensitivity of arteries and
veins in the dual-echo sequence by using the carbogen
challenge to enhance both inflow and BOLD effects. This
newly proposed technique is named carbogen-challenged
dual-echo magnetic resonance angiography (CD-MRA). A
stroke model was used to demonstrate its ability to
reveal vessels in a pathological condition.
