Overview
This course will review essential components of routine vascular MR imaging, including accepted and cutting-edge approaches to vascular morphology, function, and dynamics as highlighted in various clinical applications.
Target Audience
Clinicians and physicists/scientists interested in evaluation of vascular pathologies to understand the clinical needs and technical foundations of vascular MR imaging, as well to gain an overview of research promises with transition into broader clinical practice.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain the technical foundation of vascular MR imaging;
- Define the different roles of morphologic and functional vessel parameters; and
- Develop adequate imaging protocols for basic vascular exams in clinical routine and research applications.

Supra-Aortic Vessels: Clinical Application & Use
Hideki Ota
In the clinical settings, conditions in supra-aortic vessels include anatomical variants, steno-occlusive diseases, aneurysms, vasculitis, and shunt diseases. Luminal and vessel-wall morphology, and hemodynamics should be evaluated according to the purpose of imaging exams. TOF MRA is the standard technique. However, in-flow-effect related pitfalls should be recognized. Ultrashort TE MRA is an alternative especially for post-interventional evaluation. Contrast-enhanced MRA allows for improved luminal and vessel-wall contrast as well as hemodynamics. Arterial spin labeling technique can be also used for the evaluation of hemodynamics. This session will introduce MR technique and image findings based on various conditions in supra-aortic vessels.

| Cardiovascular Flow imaging: Basic Principles to Advanced Applications
Tino Ebbers
Blood flow is crucial in the development, diagnosis and treatment of many cardiovascular diseases. For many years, two-dimensional (2D), one-directional, time-resolved flow MRI has been the technique of choice. Nowadays, fast 4D flow MRI sequences exist on all modern MR systems and several commercial analysis software solutions are available. The challenge is to selected the most promising and relevant parameters for the research or clinical question at hand, and to obtain these with sufficient quality in a short acquisition and analysis time.
