Abstract:
In this study we investigated the feasibility of performing 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography to remotely image the arteries of rat spinal cord. Using a custom-designed implantable radiofrequency coil, we acquired angiograms from normal and injured cords. The potential of the approach was evaluated in terms of longitudinally monitoring the vascular reorganization of spinal cord following an injury.
