Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery: features on 3T cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Table 1 Imaging Sequences and Parameters for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Pulse sequence	TE (msec)	TR (msec)	Slice thickness (mm)
T1-weighted Spin-echo (axial plane)	14	750	5
T2-weighted Turbo Spin-echo (axial plane)	86	4000	4
T1-weighted post-contrast fat saturated two-dimensional gradient echo (GRE) (axial and coronal planes)	2.1	243	3
CE-MRA: three dimensional fast GRE*	1.1	2.9	0.8

*Generalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisition or GRAPPA factor of 4 was applied. CE-MRA was performed following intravenous administration of 15 mL of contrast (Magnevist, Berlex Laboratories, Wayne, New Jersey, USA) at the rate of 1.2 mL/second followed by 30 mL of saline at the same rate.
