Despite complete routine diagnostics, the etiology of
stroke remains cryptogenic in ca. 30% of the patients.
Here, we present a novel multi-contrast 3D MRI protocol
comprising bright-blood T1-weighted; dark-blood
T2-weighted and proton density-weighted images that
allows the thorough assessment of the entire thoracic
aorta in a clinically feasible time. Accuracy of this
protocol was tested in both volunteers and stroke
patients with aortic atherosclerosis.
