Luminal stenosis level, IPH, calcification and lipid
rich necrotic core are biomarkers for vulnerable
plaques. Currently available 2D multi-contrast
black-blood MRA schemes suffer from small FOV, low SNR
and misregistration between sequences. In this study, we
develop a new sequence which combines the advantages of
3D-MERGE and SNAP into a single 3D sequence that
provides large-coverage plaque imaging to visualize MRA,
lipid core, calcification and IPH simultaneously.
