Patients studied for acute stroke were evaluated with full- and half-dose contrast-enhanced neck MRA and brain perfusion imaging and results were compared. Detection specificity and overestimation of stenoses were slightly higher for the half-dose studies but perfusion mismatches were identified with high interobserver agreement at both doses. Thus, low-dose studies are feasible and save time and contrast volume.
