Synopsis

Keywords: Vessels, Vessels, Non-Contrast MRACarotid artery stenosis (CAS) is one of the most common causes of acute ischemic stroke. MRA techniques are routinely used for the diagnostics of CAS, yet one of their drawbacks remains as a long scanning time. In this study we acquired and compared two sets of images of carotid arteries: 3D time-of-flight (TOF), time spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) and their accelerated versions that utilize centric ky-kz acquisition pattern (FAST3D).
