Purpose: Feasibility of contrast-enhanced MR-Angiography (CE-MRA) of abdominal and peripheral arteries. Subjects and Methods: All examinations were performed at a 3.0 T Intera system (Philips, Best, Netherlands). Abdominal CD-MRA was performed in 15 subjects (13 male, 2 female, age 24 to 61 years) using different protocols: FOV 400mm, matrix 335×512. TR/TE/FA=3.2–5.4 ms/ 1.1–1.5 ms/15–25°, the applied SENSE-factor (sf) varied from sf 3 to sf 5, realising breathhol time between 8 and 18.5s. The volume of the injected Contrast Media (Gadopentate Dimeglumine/ Gadobutrol, Schering,Berlin, Germany) was reduced by 1/3…
