Abstract:Background: Three-dimensional (3D) black-blood (BB) vessel wall imaging is a promising noninvasive imaging technique for assessing thoracic aortic diseases. We aimed to develop and evaluate a fast thoracic aorta vessel wall imaging method with patch-based low-rank tensor (Pt-LRT) reconstruction using the 3D-modulated variable flip angle fast-spin echo (vFA-FSE) sequence.
Methods:The Pt-LRT technique adopts a low-rank tensor image model with regularization to explore the local low-rankness and nonlocal redundan… Show more
