✦ Synopsis

Several pulse sequences which generate projected MR angiograms are presented. These pulse sequences exploit multiple-gradient refocused echoes to obtain several independent angiograms, which can be combined or separately analyzed to provide more information than an individual angiogram. For example, a series of angiograms, each with a different projection axis, can be obtained in the time required to obtain a single angiogram using a single-echo method. If the view angle of each echo is the same, then the acquired angiograms can be added to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Another pulse sequence simultaneously obtains two or more angiograms, sensitive to orthogonal flow components of the overall blood flow. These angiograms are then added to give an angiogram which is sensitive to flow in all directions.

A time-resolved phase contrast magnetic resonance angiography technique is described. This technique provides a series of angiograms obtained at different phases of the cardiac cycle. Such a series of angiograms can be used to evaluate blood flow dynamics. For example, turbulent flow in the regions

The performance of current, flow-based sequences for imaging vasculature using MR is severely restricted in regions with inherently slow flow. We address this problem with a flow-independent imaging method. Specifically, we generate projection images of blood in the limbs while suppressing signal fr
