Conventional subtraction-based dynamic contrast-enhanced
(DCE) MR Angiography (MRA) is susceptible to patient
motion between the pre-contrast mask and the contrast
phases. Recently, a 2-point Dixon based non-subtraction
method for CE MRA has been proposed and improved motion
robustness has been shown. However, it was demonstrated
with single phase MRA; no temporal information was
obtained. In this work, we combined 2-pt Dixon with fast
dynamic imaging techniques and applied it for DCE MRA at
3T, eliminating the need for bolus timing or monitoring
and gathering temporal information.
