1Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China, 2Philips Healthcare, Beijing, China Keywords: Heart, Cardiovascular Non-contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary MRA(NCMRA) is a noninvasive modality for the detection of coronary artery disease. 3D-mDixon with compressed SENSE has been used in clinical practices but was limited to its scanning time of approximately 5-15 minutes. The EPI technique could shorten the scan time in MRI acquisition. The study aimed to evaluate the image quality of single breath-hold TFE-EPI NCMRA and 3D-mDIXON NCMRA with compression SENSE in healthy volunteers. The results showed there was no significant difference in image contrast between the LM, RCA proximal, and LAD proximal. The single breath-hold TFE-EPI sequence might have its own unique advantages. |

1DIPR (Department of Interventional and Pediatric Radiology), Inselspital, Bern, Switzerland, 2Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Inselspital, Bern, Switzerland Keywords: Vessels, Cardiovascular, Magnetic Resonance Angiography This work compares the application of two magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequences on an aortic dissection patient cohort: the conventional cartesian-sampling-based, TWIST sequence, and the new radial-sampling-based GRASP sequence. The 1.5T MRA data from six patients with aortic dissection were assessed qualitatively and quantitatively to investigate overall image quality and spatial and temporal blurring. GRASP outperformed TWIST in temporal SNR, vessel sharpness and reduction in image blurring; streaking artifacts were clearly visible, but did not affect the diagnostic image quality. |

In response, our department instituted measures to conserve iodinated contrast, including the use of MRA as an alternative to contrast enhanced CTA to evaluate for pulmonary embolus (PE). Over the period of April through July of 2022, this strategy conserved an estimated 27 liters of iohexol 350 mg/ml. We report our experience on the use of MRA for diagnosis of PE in the general population during this period. |

Recent research in cardiac multitasking with low rank tensor (LRT) reconstruction allows for decomposition of cardiorespiratory motion. In this preliminary work, we showed that LRT reconstruction can be applied to the ROCK-MUSIC acquisition to enable higher temporal resolution with cardiorespiratory resolved imaging. When compared to L1-ESPIRiT, the LRT approach is able to achieve comparable image quality. |

1Department of Radiology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China, 2Shukun (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd, Beijing, China Keywords: Heart, Cardiovascular Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CMRA) is the only non-invasive coronary artery imaging method without radiation exposure and contrast media, and its application in clinical practice has been increasing. However, image post-processing for clinical diagnosis is time-consuming and requires expertise for radiologists. We proposed a three-dimensional U-Net-based automatic method for CMRA images by transfer learning from a pre-trained model of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA) to obtain accurate segmentation of coronary arteries. |

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States, 5Department of Medical Imaging, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States Keywords: Vessels, Image Reconstruction Conventional thoracic non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (NC-MRA) often produces suboptimal image quality in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and results in lengthy scan times. We recently developed a NC-MRA pulse sequence using a stack-of-stars k-space sampling pattern with XD-GRASP reconstruction and evaluated its performance in adults. In this study, we sought to improve our NC-MRA pulse sequence by incorporating view-sharing (VS) and k-space weighted image contrast (KWIC) filtering to reduce blurring, which is critical for pediatric patients who have smaller hearts and faster heart rates than adults. We evaluated it performance against contrast-enhanced MRA in pediatric patients. |

51 | Native MR angiography of the thorax using Compressed Sensing and 1-point Dixon at 3T: Comparison with standard fat suppression and 2-point Dixon
Michaela Schmidt1, Marcel Dominik Nickel1, and Daniel Giese1
1Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany Keywords: Vessels, Blood vessels For increased vessel contrast a robust fat suppression of adjacent fat is desirable in MR angiography. While spectral fat suppression can be insufficient, fat separation based on 2-point Dixon requires the acquisition of a second echo. A 1-point Dixon approach based on opposed-phase imaging is presented here that allows to suppress fat dominated voxels effectively while keeping scan efficiency. The approach is evaluated in volunteers and compared to conventional approaches regarding image quality, artifacts, fat suppression and vessel diameter. |

We implemented a cardiac gated sequence for breath-held MRA of the thoracic aorta with flexible contrast during the steady-state distribution of ferumoxytol and compared it to ungated MRA with similar resolution. The resulting images were compared for definition of the aortic annulus, leaflets and ascending aorta. The gated sequence performed significantly better than the ungated sequence for all measured parameters and holds promise as a high quality alternative to gated CTA in appropriate clinical circumstances. |

1Radiology, UC San Diego, San Diego, CA, United States, 2VA San Diego Healthcare System, San Diego, CA, United States, 3Canon Medical, Ōtawara-shi, Japan Keywords: Vessels, Vessels, Non-Contrast MRA Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is one of the most common causes of acute ischemic stroke. MRA techniques are routinely used for the diagnostics of CAS, yet one of their drawbacks remains as a long scanning time. In this study we acquired and compared two sets of images of carotid arteries: 3D time-of-flight (TOF), time spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) and their accelerated versions that utilize centric ky-kz acquisition pattern (FAST3D). |

1Radiology, Renji hospital, Shanghai, China, 2Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China, 3Philips Healthcare, Shanghai, China Keywords: Vessels, Blood vessels We recruited 4 patients with internal carotid artery occlusive diseases and assessed whether 4D-MR angiography can be used as a noninvasive alternative to intraarterial DSA. All patients were imaged with TOF-MRA, 4D-PACK, 4D-S-PACK, and DSA. 4D-PACK demonstrated a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 100%, 100%, and 100% respectively, as same as TOF-MRA, for diagnosing ICAO in reference to DSA. Moreover, 4D-PACK along with 4D-S-PACK could provide additional dynamic information on compensatory circulation after ICAO. Our results showed that non-contrast 4D-MR angiography has the potential to become an alternative imaging approach in diagnosing ICAO and initially assessing its blood supply pattern. |
