Cardiac-gated local coil MR imaging of the carotid neck bifurcation.

Abstract: the Signa system. The 5-cm coil was placed directly on the skin of the lateral surface of the subject's neck with the subject supine, his head and neck in a three-sided plastic holder. Data were acquired with a 20FT multisection technique using a 128 x 256 matrix, a 16- cm field of view, two excitations, and 3-mm thick sections with a 1- mm gap. EGG gating was used with the trigger set to 9 msec from the R wave. The EGG signal was transmitted from the patient by cable to a cardiac monitor (78351 A, Hewlett-Packard, Menlo Park, GA), which in turn triggered the pulse sequences. The repetition time (TR) was determined by the R-R interval; the echo-delay time (TE) was 20 msec.
