Core Tip	The traditional approach to atherosclerotic plaque imaging using magnetic resonance (MR) is the two-dimensional (2D) multi-contrast turbo spin echo technique. However, 3D black blood MR imaging is becoming the preferred methodology for evaluating plaque burden non-invasively. Comparing imaging results obtained using both 3D sampling Perfection with application-optimized contrast using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) and conventional 2D multi-contrast TSE sequences in evaluating vascular territories showed good agreement in both qualitative and quantitative measurements between the two techniques. 3D SPACE technique is a promising and potentially feasible approach for the evaluation of multiple vascular beds in patients at risk for cardiovascular disease.
