PurposeTo evaluate dynamic coronary imaging based on a magnetization prepared contrast‐enhanced (CE) rotated stripe keyhole acquisition scheme.Materials and MethodsBackground suppression of long T1tissue was used so that thek‐space would be selectively dominated by the contribution of the CE vessel. The phase‐encoding axis was then adjusted parallel to the long axis of the vessel to sample the significant power spectrum of the vessel. The performance of this approach was evaluated by means of computer simulations and experimental studies on phantoms and a pig model instrumented with an intracoronary catheter for infusion of contrast media.ResultsComputer simulations and phantom studies demonstrated that by rotating the gradient axes to match thek‐space pattern of the frequency spectrum, one can reduce the keyhole band to 20% of the fullk‐space while preserving the structure's lumen width and sharpness. In vivo studies validated those findings, and dynamic angiograms of the CE coronary arteries were obtained as rapidly as 140 msec per image, with an in‐plane spatial resolution of 1.5 mm.ConclusionWith efficient background suppression, a rotated stripes keyhole acquisition can efficiently acquire the significantk‐space of a CE vessel, and provide improved vessel definition with a reduced acquisition matrices scheme.
