This study developed a 3D MRI technique of abdominal
aorta aneurysm which can achieve high isotropic
resolution and good blood suppression within a
clinically acceptable scan time using DANTE prepared
SPACE sequence. The feasibility of using DANTE-SPACE to
differentiate thrombus components and the ability to
identify inflammation with USPIO contrast agents was
demonstrated. These methods can potentially improve
patient risk stratification.
