Three-dimensional Dynamic Susceptibility-weighted Perfusion MR Imaging at 3.0 T: Feasibility and Contrast Agent Dose

Abstract

With echo-shifted multishot echo-planar imaging, dynamic susceptibility-weighted perfusion MR imaging at high field strength is feasible without relevant image distortions. Compared with contrast agent dose for 1.5 T imaging, the dose for 3.0 T can be reduced to 0.10 mmol.
