## Abstract An ultrafast threeโdimensional (3D) sequence was developed, enabling the acquisition of 44 contiguous 2.0โto 2.2โmm thin sections, during intravenous application of paramagnetic contrast, in a single breathโhold. To estimate the potential clinical usefulness, images were assessed qualit
The authors describe the optimization of a contrast-enhanced, breath-held, three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (CE-BH-3DMRA) technique in the assessment of the renal arteries and compare its utility with conventional x-ray angiography (XRA). Signal optimization using specific pulse sequ
## Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the effect of image subtraction on the image quality of threeโdimensional (3D) gadoliniumโenhanced MR angiograms of the renal arteries. Breathโhold 3D gadolinium MR angiography (MRA) as well as conventional con
