The Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and
intra-Plaque hemorrhage (SNAP) sequence has been
proposed for imaging both luminal stenosis and
intraplaque hemorrhage in subjects with carotid
atherosclerosis in one scan. Full-resolution reference
scan in traditional SNAP sequence will double the
acquisition time. To shorten the scan time, we propose a
new fSNAP sequence with interleaved full-resolution
inversion recovery scan and low-resolution reference
scan for carotid atherosclerotic disease evaluation.
Total scan time is shortened by 37.5% without negatively
impacting MRA quality and intraplaque hemorrhage
detection, suggesting that fSNAP proposed in this study
might be an alternative method for carotid
atherosclerotic disease evaluation.
