High‐resolution imaging of the intracranial arterial and venous systems following a single contrast injection

Abstract: Purpose: To generate two separate three-dimensional (3D) high spatial resolution images of the intracranial arterial and venous systems using a single contrast injection. Materials and Methods:A 3D contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) acquisition was modified to create two separate k-space data sets to encode the arterial and venous enhancement signals individually after contrast agent injection. Following an automated detection of contrast arrival, the central k-space views correspondin… Show more

“…11,14,22,28,30,31,33 The type of artifacts, such as aliasing, ringing, movement, or vascular edge, must be specified because it is influenced by the TR-3D-CE-MRA strategy used. 11,35,[37][38][39] Arterial-to-venous separation, assessed with a semiquantitative scale, 5,11,12,30,34 provides a quick evaluation of the practical temporal resolution (ie, the ability of TR-3D-CE-MRA to detect rapid arteriovenous shunt involved in certain vascular malformations). However, our study shows no obvious interest in visually grading maximum arterial or venous SI.…”

“…4) Arterial-to-venous separation during the arterial phase. 5,12,21,30,34,35 Grading was as follows: 0, poor, Յ2 phases without venous contamination; 1, good, 3 phases without venous contamination; and 2, excellent, Ն4 phases without venous contamination. This parameter reflected the temporal resolution and determined the ability of the TR-3D-CE-MRA to identify the rapid arteriovenous shunt involved in most vascular malformations.…”

“…The imaging volume typically encompasses the patient's entire brain, and the use of a large sampling matrix is necessary to achieve the desired spatial resolution. Acquisition of these large data sets is usually not practical with TOF or PC MRV because of prohibitively long scan times, and even for conventional 3D CE-MRV, the duration can exceed 4 min (7,12).…”
