Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Cervical artery dissection is a highly dynamic process with rapid changes over time. To assess these morphological changes patients with proven cervical artery dissection (CAD) underwent follow up MRI within two weeks after the initial diagnosis. Methods: A total of 66 patients with suspected CAD were examined at a 3.0T system (Gyroscan Intera, Philips) using a purpose build phased array coil with four circular elements. High resolution imaging protocol consisted of bright blood 3D inflow MRA (TR/TE/FA=25ms/3.1ms/16°, reconstructed voxel size 0.3×0.3×0.8mm); black blood T1w 3D spoiled GE (TR/TE/FA=31ms/…
