## Abstract An MR angiographic technique, referred to as 3D TRICKS (3D time‐resolved imaging of contrast kinetics) has been developed. This technique combines and extends to 3D imaging several previously published elements. These elements include an increased sampling rate for lower spatial frequen

✦ Synopsis
TRICKS is an acquisition and reconstruction method capable of generating 3D time-resolved angiograms. Arguably, the main problem with TRICKS is the way it handles the outer regions of the k-space matrix, leading to artifacts at the edges of blood vessels. An alternative to the data- processing stage of TRICKS, designed to better represent edges and small vessels, is presented here. A weakness of the new approach is an increased sensitivity to motion compared to TRICKS. Since this method can use the same data as TRICKS, a hybrid reconstruction method could conceivably be developed where the advantages of both approaches are combined.
