Does incorporating a cross-pair navigator to detect swallowing improve image quality in 3D volume-selective TSE carotid artery wall imaging in healthy volunteers?
Incorporating a navigator to detect swallowing during 3D volume-selective TSE carotid artery wall imaging significantly improves vessel wall delineation and blood suppression.
