1. A method of imaging an aorta and aortic aneurysm of a patient using magnetic resonance imaging, comprising, performing a first imaging sequence to identify the location of the aneurysm;

  • performing a second imaging sequence to image the aorta and extent of the aortic aneurysm, including, collecting image data; and

    administering magnetic resonance contrast agent to the patient while collecting image data, by intravenous infusion, at a rate of infusion sufficient to provide a substantially elevated concentration of the contrast agent in the artery during collection of image data representative of a center of k-space.
