Abstract
We describe a time-resolved, contrast-enhanced carotid MR angiographic tech nique using a 3D gradient-echo sequence in combination with a sensitivity-e ncoding scheme. We delineate the steps involved in generating the dynamic M R angiographic images, discuss issues related to image quality, and outline differences between this technique and recently reported similar methods t hat Implement multiple parallel receivers to reduce imaging time.
