This study compared a high resolution contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) sequence to conventional contrast-enhanced MRA sequence for imaging of rabbit carotid artery. Fifteen rabbits underwent an evaluation using both high resolution contrast-enhanced MRA sequence and conventional contrast-enhanced MRA sequence. Siemens 1.5 Tesla Magnetom Vision system was utilized. The parameters of high resolution sequence were: TR/TE= 6.2/2.0 msec, flip angle 25°, matrix 130×512, pixel size 0.96×0.49 mm, partition thickness 1.58 mm, acquisition time 24 sec. The parameters of conventional sequence were: TR/TE=3.8/1.4 msec, flip angle 35°, matrix 110×256, pixel size 1.48×1.02 mm, partition thickness 2mm, acquisition time 10 sec. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images were created. Both original single slices and MIP images were used for image quality evaluation. Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), distinctness of artery edge, and venous contamination were analyzed for both techniques. Higher average CNR and SNR were obtained with high resolution contrast-enhanced MRA, compared to average CNR and SNR with conventional contrast-enhanced MRA. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The artery edge with high resolution method was more distinct than conventional method. Jugular venous contamination was found in five of 15 cases with high resolution contrast-enhanced MRA and in four of 15 cases with conventional contrast-enhanced MRA. High resolution contrast-enhanced MRA has significant potential for high quality noninvasive vascular imaging. The image quality with high resolution contrast-enhanced MRA sequence is better than conventional contrast-enhanced MRA sequence.
