✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Time‐of‐flight (TOF) angiography based on inflow enhancement is limited by the steady‐state signal differences between blood and the surrounding stationary tissues. We present a new TOF sequence in which magnetization transfer contrast is used to supplement wash. in effects. Angiograms demonstrating the superior performance of this technique are presented. © 1992 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract Traditional methods for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) involve the radiofrequency excitation of vascular spins within a selected region of tissue, followed by gradient localization and imaging of those spins within that same region. Signals that unfaithfully localize within the im
