Synopsis

Keywords: Vessels, Blood vesselsFlow-sensitive CINE imaging is non-contrast-enhanced MRA technique based on the Turbo Field Echo Planar Imaging (TFEPI). Because TFEPI is sensitive to blood flow, the MRA acquired with flow-sensitive CINE imaging includes dynamic flow information. In this study, we applied flow-sensitive CINE imaging to a variety of body parts such as trunk and lower extremity. Volunteer data demonstrated its usefulness to a variety of body parts. The combination of anatomical vascular pattern and the dynamic flow information may enable comprehensive assessment of whole-body arteries.
