Multislice double inversion-recovery black-blood imaging with simultaneous slice reinversion.
To develop a technique for time-efficient multislice double inversion-recovery (DIR) black-blood imaging and to test its applicability and limitations for high-resolution imaging of carotid arteries. ⋯ Multislice DIR provides up to eight-fold improvement of time-efficiency relative to single-slice DIR and high-quality blood suppression.
