Abstract
To explore the imaging capabilities of a new commercially available, three-station, 129-cm long, 12-element phased array coil for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Nineteen patients, referred for peripheral CE-MRA, were evaluated using the new three-station coil. For each station four coil elements (two anterior and two posterior to the patient) were used. The expected improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were used to improve spatial resolution and increase anatomic coverage for the distal two stations compared to our previous protocol. Images obtained in the 19 patients imaged with the new coil were compared to those of the last 19 patients scanned without the use of the new coil. Differences in image quality before vs. after the availability of the new coil were compared in terms of SNR and CNR, subjective interpretability score (SIS), degree of venous enhancement, and anatomic coverage. Images were interpreted by two experienced observers, blinded for imaging technique and each other's results. Use of the coil enabled acquisition of high resolution peripheral vasculature images in all cases and...Continue Reading
