The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate a faster MR image that has been optimized to look at participants blood vessel walls.
The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate a faster MR image that has been optimized to look at participants blood vessel walls. This faster MR image technique will image participants blood vessel walls in a shorter period of time and will be compared to the routine MR images that is typically used to image participants blood vessel walls. The purpose of testing these faster images is to compare the image quality with longer conventional images. The goal is to ensure the investigators maintain high image quality over a shorter period of time. These faster images over a shorter perio…
