## Abstract Vasa vasorum in the adventitia of atherosclerotic arteries may play a role in plaque progression. In this investigation, a method for characterizing vasa vasorum in the carotid artery is proposed, in which the perfusion properties of the adventitia are probed via dynamic contrast‐enhanc

## Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion, susceptibility artifacts, and a low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) make automatic pixel‐by‐pixel analysis difficult. In th
## Purpose: To differentiate prostate carcinoma from healthy peripheral zone and central gland using quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced (dce) magnetic resonance (mr) imaging and two-dimensional (1)h mr spectroscopic imaging (mrsi) combined into one clinical protocol. ## Materials and methods:
## Abstract A novel approach for imaging large sections of the carotid artery wall at isotropic spatial resolution is presented. Local excitation by means of 2D excitation pulses was combined with a diffusion‐prepared segmented steady‐state black‐blood gradient echo technique enabling the assessmen
