Abstract

On the basis of the principles of the time‐of‐flight method and the 3‐D angiogram obtained by the 2‐D planar image scanning technique using 90° RF pulses with short repetition time, we have obtained a coronary angiogram around the heart including the coronary arteries and veins. The cine NMR imaging technique is also incorporated in synchronizing ECG R waves to reduce the motion artifact and at the same time to induce the saturation effect on the static samples. Images of the large bulk blood flow corresponding to the heart chamber and descending aorta are further removed by postprocessing. The final 3‐D angiogram is then formed by stacking the 2‐D images and contrast is further enhanced by the maximum ray tracing algorithm. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract A 3‐D MR angiography using a scanning 2‐D planar imaging technique with the 90° flip angle steady‐state free precession sequence is presented. This method, in essence, is the rapid scanning of 2‐D images to form a 3‐D volume image. The method is then extended to the simultaneous acquisi
