To demonstrate the usefulness of hyperecho and PROPELLER (HEP) for carotid arterial vessel wall imaging by using a quantitative comparison with conventional methods. PROPELLER is a motion‐insensitive turbo spin‐echo (TSE) sequence and has recently been utilized in magnetic resonance (MR) plaque imaging instead of double inversion recovery TSE (DIR‐TSE). Wider blade‐width, higher k‐space density, and an improved blood suppression effect result in better image quality. In this study we introduce a new combination of HEP.
