Zusammenfassung
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and image quality of peripheral MRA with two-point Dixon-FatSaturation during the steady state after injection of gadofosveset. Materials and Methods: In prospective, intraindividual study 10 healthy volunteers (mean age 29.2 years) were examined at 3.0T (Siemens Tim Trio) 1h after the bolus injection of 0.03mmol/kg BW gadofosveset (Vasovist®, Bayerhealthcare) using a dedicated 36-element peripheral MRA-matrix coil. A large field of view ranging from the knee to the ankle volume-interpolated breathhold-exam (VIBE) sequence with two-point Dixon fat-su…
