This paper describes a new technique for NMR angiography based on rapid line scan projection imaging and presaturation of stationary spins. The resulting line scan angiograms are free from both misregistration artifacts common to subtraction methods and motion artifacts encountered in Fourier imagin

β¦ Synopsis
The change in phase of transverse spin magnetization induced by macroscopic spin motion in the direction of an applied magnetic field gradient is used to generate projection angiograms. The method can provide a quantitative measure of laminar and pulsatile flow. Cardiac synchronization is not required provided that data are acquired at many points in the cardiac cycle. The use of short TR and a large number of excitations provides better suppression of stationary tissue and patient motion artifacts than is possible with cardiac gated studies. In addition to improvements in image quality, a substantial shortening of scan time is obtained.

## 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
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,
