From: 2135 Rapid 3D vessel wall imaging at 3 T: optimization and evaluation of diffusion preparation
T1 weighted images from a health volunteer at the bifurcation of the right carotid artery using the proposed 3D IVI FSE + DSG preparation, 3D IVI FSE + DIR preparation, and conventional 2D Multislice methods. The 3D IVI + DIR approach shows artifacts from incomplete blood suppression. The most superior slice acquired using the 3D schemes suffer from noticeable aliasing artifacts.
