Surrogate arterial phase imaging using a long duration (approximate to 1.5 min) radial acquisition TI-weighted sequence: an alternative in patients unable to breath-hold

摘要

Background: Pediatric and adult patients unable to suspend respiration generally undergo magnetic resonance (MR) examinations that lack arterial phase imaging, which is a phase that provides substantial information on disease processes. An MR strategy that provides this type of information may be of considerable value.
