To explore the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) vessel wall imaging of carotid atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE mice using 7.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with delays alternating with nutations for tailored excitation (DANTE)-prepared fast low-angle shot (DANTE-FLASH) technique. Numerical simulations were performed for optimizing imaging parameters to maximize the wall-lumen contrast. Six ApoE and three wild-type mice were scanned using a 7.0T MRI scanner with DANTE-FLASH and multi-slice 2D RARE coupled with inflow outflow saturation bands (2D-IOSBRARE). The wall signal-to-noise ratio (SNRwall), lumen SNR (SNRlumen), wall-lumen contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), lumen area (LA), and wall area (WA) were compared between DANTE- FLASH and 2D-IOSB-RARE sequences. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the correlation between the MRI measurements and histopathological measurements of LA and WA. Based on the simulation results, a flip angle of 15° and a train length of 150 were implemented in the live imaging study. Compared with 2D-IOSB-RARE, DANTE-FLASH provided a slightly reduced CNR ( < 0.001) but much improved slice resolution. The LA and WA measurements from the DANTE-FLASH and 2D-IOSB- RARE showed excellent agreement based on ICC analysis (LA ICC=0.94, < 0.001; WA ICC=0.93, < 0.001) and Bland-Altman plots. Strong correlations were observed between the MRI and histopathological measurements for both LA ( < 0.0001) and WA ( < 0.0001). As a 3D black-blood MR sequence, DANTE-FLASH provides isotropic high spatial resolution to allow reliable visualization and quantitative evaluation of the arteriosclerotic lesions within the car
