BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: First-pass contrast-enhanced MR angiography has
become the technique of choice for studying the carotid bifurcation, but this method has …

OBJECTIVE. The technical feasibility of contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the carotid
arteries was evaluated with routinely available timing sequences and elliptic centric …

Purpose To compare three different magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) techniques
with x‐ray angiography and endarterectomy specimens. Materials and Methods Twenty‐one …

With contrast‐enhanced MR angiographic techniques, a T1‐shortening contrast agent is
injected into the blood stream. Imaging during the first pass of the contrast agent permits …

Contrast-bolus tracking in the carotid bifurcation was accomplished using an MR
angiographic technique with a 3D turbo field-echo readout (TR/TE= 6/3, flip angle= 50°) …

Although conventional angiography has traditionally been the preoperative study of choice
before carotid endarterectomy, alternative noninvasive methods, particularly MR …

A magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic protocol was evaluated in the carotid bifurcation
with use of a pulse sequence for time-resolved three-dimensional imaging of contrast …

PURPOSE: To compare the delineation of stenosis at the carotid artery bifurcation on three-
dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) images …

Conventional time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) in carotid artery stenosis relies on
flow-related enhancement to produce signal from vascular structures. Intravoxel phase …

PURPOSE: To compare gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of
the carotid bifurcation with 2D time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography with regard to image …
