High-spatial-resolution multistation MR imaging of lower-extremity peripheral vasculature with segmented volume acquisition: feasibility study.
A method of three-station three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the lower extremities with segmented volume acquisition is presented. Three-dimensional MR angiographic data were acquired in two passes, with the central k-space views acquired during the arterial phase for the more proximal stations. This allowed a faster bolus injection rate and potentially improved visualization of the tibioperoneal arteries.
