Ultra-short Echo-time MR Angiography Combined with a Modified Signal Targeting Alternating Radio Frequency with Asymmetric Inversion Slabs Technique to Assess Visceral Artery Aneurysm after Coil Embolization.

Contrast-enhanced CT and MR angiography are widely used for follow-up of visceral artery aneurysms after coil embolization. However, potential adverse reactions to contrast agents and image deterioration due to susceptibility artifacts from the coils are major drawbacks of these modalities. Herein, we introduced a novel non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography technique using ultra-short TE combined with a modified signal targeting alternating radio frequency with asymmetric inversion slabs, which could provide a serial hemodynamic vascular image with fewer susceptibility artifacts for follow-up after coil embolization.
