We report on the image quality obtained by using fast contrast-enhanced whole-brain 4D radial MRA with 0.75-second temporal resolution, isotropic submillimeter spatial resolution, and velocity encoding (HYPRFlow). Images generated by HYPR-LR by using the velocity-encoded data as the constraining image were of diagnostic quality. In addition, we demonstrate that measurements of shear stress within the middle cerebral artery can be derived from the high-resolution 3D velocity data.
我们报告了使用 0.75 秒时间分辨率、各向同性亚毫米空间分辨率和速度编码(HYPRFlow)的快速对比增强全脑 4D 径向 MRA 获得的图像质量。使用速度编码数据作为约束图像的 HYPR-LR 生成的图像具有诊断质量。此外,我们证明可以从高分辨率 3D 速度数据中得出大脑中动脉内剪切应力的测量值。
