## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of flow‐sensitive dephasing (FSD) magnetization preparation in improving blood signal suppression of three‐dimensional (3D) turbo spin‐echo (TSE) sequence (SPACE) for isotropic high‐spatial‐resolution carotid arterial wall imaging at 3T. ## Ma
## Abstract In this study, a turbo spin‐echo (TSE) based motion‐sensitized driven‐equilibrium (MSDE) sequence was used as an alternative black‐blood (BB) carotid MRI imaging scheme. The MSDE sequence was first optimized for more efficient residual blood signal suppression in the carotid bulb of hea
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate a new isotropic 3D proton‐density, turbo‐spin‐echo sequence with variable flip‐angle distribution (PD‐SPACE) sequence compared to an isotropic 3D true‐fast‐imaging with steady‐state‐precession (True‐FISP) sequence and 2D standard MR sequences with regard to the n
