7T imaging of neurovasculature with TOF affords sub-millimeter resolution and can make it possible to visualize extremely small vessels such as the lenticulostriate arteries; however, TOF can be hampered by flow and pulsation artifacts. K-space reordering and the administration of a contrast agent can greatly reduce these artifacts while still allowing for small vessel conspicuity. We acquired gadolinium and ferumoxytol-based MRA alongside TOF in three patients and two radiologists rated vessel conspicuity and artifact. Artifacts were diminished with contrast, though there were no differences in artifact due to k-space reordering, and vessel conspicuity was high in all acquisitions.
