Previous studies have demonstrated that a susceptibility-based positive contrast MR method exhibits excellent efficacy for visualizing MR compatible metal devices by taking advantage of their high magnetic susceptibility. However, the method was not evaluated in the assessment of stent restenosis. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the susceptibility-based positive method can be used to assess the stent restenosis, with the comparison of two typical MR positive contrast techniques, i.e., SUMO and GRASP. The experimental results showed that the susceptibility-based method not only provides better localization of the stent than SUMO and GRASP but also has capabiltiy to assess the stent restenosis.
