In this study, a MSDE prepared spoiled gradient (SPGR)
sequence was proposed to acquire black blood cine images
of common carotid arteries (CCA) and investigate its
dynamics quantitatively. Parameters related to dynamics
of CCAs, including lumen areas, wall areas and
distension were calculated and analyzed. Comparisons
between black blood images and bright blood images were
made. Based on this method, artery lumen dynamics and
wall dynamics can be evaluated quantitatively, both of
which may be valuable for investigating biomechanical
and functional properties of the vasculature, monitoring
vessel stiffness changes, and diagnosing related
cardiovascular diseases.
