Black-blood MR cine imaging is a promising technique for more accurate assessment of carotid artery lumen dynamics by reducing flow artifacts and partial volume effects.

May improve preclinical carotid lumen assessment; leaves open clinical translation pending human validation.
The proposed BB-cine imaging technique can suppress the flow artifacts effectively and reduce the partial volume effects from the vessel wall. This might allow more accurate lumen dynamics measurements than traditional BrB-cine imaging, which may further be valuable for investigating biomechanical and functional properties of the cardiovascular system.
