Conventional reference multi-contrast black-blood (BB) MRI can be used for measuring luminal stenosis severity and plaque components, and its performance has been validated by intra- and inter-reader reproducibility test and histology. Recently, a set of 3D multi-contrast BB sequences have been developed, but its accuracy and reliability have not been well investigated. In this study, we evaluated the performance of 3D multi-contrast MRI (3D-MERGE, T2-VISTA, and SNAP) by comparing it with reference multi-contrast vessel wall MRI and assessing the inter-reader reproducibility.
