REACT-MD provides
fast run-off exams of the total legs with simultaneous non-contrast MRA and
black-blood imaging. Initial results show promise in offering diagnostic
quality without scout acquisition and planning with simplified workflow for
detection of peripheral vascular diseases.

Representative full MIP (left) partial MIP (center) of
REACT-MRA and MPRAGE (right) images from the same REACT-MD dataset. It is
noteworthy that REACT-MD provided both MRA and MPRAGE images in one single scan
and allowed for imaging over a large FOV at 3.0T.

A
comparison of the procedural time scheme using the proposed approach to the
conventional method in the practice. (a) conventional procedure included
survey, planning and separate scans for REACT and MPRAGE images. REACT-MD can
shorten the scan time for REACT and MPRAGE (b). Furthermore, fast planning-less
approach (c) further reducing the total examination time.
