✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the utility of nonuniform angular spacing of projections in a three‐dimensional (3D) hybrid undersampled projection reconstruction (PR) acquisition for contrast‐enhanced (CE) time‐resolved carotid imaging.

Materials and Methods

Carotid CE magnetic resonance angiography (CE‐MRA) was performed on seven healthy volunteers using a time‐resolved hybrid sequence that combined undersampled PR acquisition in‐plane and Cartesian slice encoding through‐plane. The undersampling streak artifact comes mainly from the superior–inferior (S/I) direction in carotid imaging and is suppressed by nonuniform distribution of the projections. Phantom and volunteer studies were performed to demonstrate its efficacy.

Results

The undersampling streak artifact was significantly suppressed through a nonuniform distribution of the projection angles with more projections aligned along the S/I direction. The hybrid PR sequence combined with nonuniform distribution of the projection angles provided time‐resolved images of the carotid arteries with high temporal resolution (two seconds per frame) and high spatial resolution (1.0 × 1.0 × 1.5 mm^3^) simultaneously.

Conclusion

High‐resolution dynamic imaging of the carotid arteries is feasible with the use of a hybrid undersampled PR acquisition. Undersampling streak artifact can be suppressed significantly through nonuniform distribution of the projections. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Imaging of the blood vessels below the knee using contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI is challenging due to the need to coordinate image acquisition and arrival of the contrast in the targeted vessels. Time-resolved acquisitions have been successful in consistently capturing images of the arterial phase of t
