ABSTRACT
Background Three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) at 7 T has been reported to have high image quality for visualizing small perforating vessels. However, B1 inhomogeneity and more physiologic considerations limit its applications. Angiography at 5 T may provide another choice for intracranial vascular imaging. Purpose To evaluate the image quality and cerebrovascular visualization of 5-T 3D TOF MRA for visualizing intracranial small branch arteries. Materials and Methods Participants (healthy volunteers or participants with a history of ischemic stroke undergoing intracranial CT angiography or MRA for identifying steno-occlusive disease) were prospectively included from September 2021 to November 2021. Each participant underwent 3-T, 5-T, and 7-T 3D TOF MRA with use of customized MR protocols within 48 hours. Radiologist scoring from 0 (invisible) to 3 (excellent) and quantitative assessment were obtained to evaluate the image quality. The Friedman test was used for comparison of characteristics derived from 3 T, 5 T, and 7 T. Results A total of 12 participants (mean age ± SD, 38 years ± 9; nine men) were included. Visualizations of the distal arteries and small vessels at 5-T TOF MRA were significantly higher than those at 3 T (median score 3.0 vs 2.0, all P < .001 for distal segments and lenticulostriate artery; median score 2.0 vs 0, P < .001 for pontine artery). The total length of small vessel branches detected at 5 T was larger than that at 3 T (5.1 m ± 0.7 vs 1.9 m ± 0.4; P < .001). However, there was no evidence of a significant difference compared with 7 T in either the depiction of distal segments and small vessel branches (average median score, 2.5; all P > .05) or the quantitative measurements (total length, 5.6 m ± 0.5; P = .41). Conclusion Three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography at 5 T presented the capability to provide superior visualization of distal large arteries and small vessel branches (in terms of subjective and quantitative assessment) to 3 T and had image quality similar to 7 T. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
