Excerpt

Although contrast-enhanced first-pass MRA (FP-MRA) is frequently used to visualize the thoracic vasculature, it may not be ideal for the assessment of the aortic root due to poor image quality and motion artifact. Blood-pool contrast agents remain within the intravascular space for several hours, allowing vessels to be imaged longer and therefore improving spatial resolution. The purpose of this study is to compare steady-state magnetic resonance angiography (SS-MRA) following injection of a blood-pool contras agent to first-pass MR angiography (FP-MRA) in adults with thoracic aortic disease. …
