The ability to visualize whole-brain vasculature is important for quantitative in vivo investigation of vascular malfunctions cerebral small vessel diseases, including cancer, stroke and neurodegeneration. Transverse relaxation-based ΔR2 ΔR2* MR angiography (MRA) provides improved vessel–tissue contrast animal deep brain with the aid intravascular agents; however, it susceptible orientation dependence, air–tissue interface artifacts size overestimation. Dual-mode MRA acquisition...
Motivation: Hepatic stiffness (HS), detected by MR elastography (MRE), is a biomarker for hepatic fibrosis. Liver MRE requires breath-holding (BH), which challenging in children or people with liver disease. Spin-echo echo-planar-imaging (SE-EPI) can quantify HS rapidly(~10 s), even iron overload. Goal(s): To evaluate free-breathing (FB) SE-EPI without respiratory triggering motion compensation terms of agreement, repeatability, and measurable area [%] respect to BH MRE. Approach: FB were...
