Abstract
An MR angiographic method is presented in which a rotating 2D slice is centered on and targets a region or vessel of interest. Collecting a series of slices rotating about the center of the targeted region yields projection data sufficient for the calculation of 3D volumetric data of the region using conventional backprojection reconstruction techniques. These volumetric data depict the internal structure of the vessel and can be processed and displayed with multiplanar reformation, maximum intensity projections, and 3D rendering algorithms. The rotational angiographic acquisition preserves the high temporal resolution of 2DโMR digital subtraction angiography with the added benefit of 3D reformatting and display. The method is explained in detail and results from phantom and human experiments are presented. Magn Reson Med, 2007. ยฉ 2007 WileyโLiss, Inc.

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.

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 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 requir
