(A) Vessel wall CNR and wall area measurements comparison between DANTE-SPACE and SPACE-only. DANTE-SPACE had significantly higher CNR than SPACE-only when residual blood was present. (B) Post-CE DANTE-SPACE images of a patient suspected of ICA dissection. Note the thrombus near the bifurcation of the left internal carotid artery (red arrow) and thickened arterial wall (yellow arrows). In-plane and cross-sectional images showed double lumen sign (green arrow) which confirmed the diagnosis of dissection. (C) Pre- and post-CE DANTE-SPACE images from a symptomatic patient with slice-matched T1w 2D TSE images as reference. Pre-CE images at the bifurcation showed hyperintensive plaque component suggesting intraplaque hemorrhage (yellow arrows). Also note the hypointense plaque component suggesting calcification (blue arrows). Post-CE images showed enhanced plaque component next to the lumen suggesting thin fibrous cap (red arrows).
