Purpose: To test the feasibility of contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the supraaortic arteries with SENSE and CENTRA at 3.0T Methods: Contrast-enhanced (CE) MRA of the supraaortic arteries with randomly sampled central k-space (CENTRA) and SENSE was implemented on a clinical whole body 3.0T MR system (Achieva, Philips Medical Systems, Best, NL) using a 16-element, 8-channel neurovascular coil (Philips Medical Systems, Best, NL). CE MRA protocols were created using SENSE reduction factors (RF) ranging from 1 to 4. A 512×512 matrix was acquired over a 320 to 350mm FOV with 0.98 and 0.90mm thin slices (0.49 and 0…
