(A) Two representative examples of improved arterial blood suppression by DANTE-SPACE post-CE. On the SPACE-only images significant residual blood was observed at internal carotid artery, which obscured the boundary between lumen and vessel wall and may be misidentified as a plaque (yellow arrow). On the DANTE-SPACE images lumen was clean and vessel wall appeared thin. (B) A representative example of improved venous blood suppression by DANTE-SPACE. On the post-CE DANTE-SPACE images the venous blood was well suppressed and the venous lumen appeared dark (arrows). Also note the reduced level of flow artifacts compared to SPACE only images.
