## Abstract Time‐of‐flight (TOF) angiography based on inflow enhancement is limited by the steady‐state signal differences between blood and the surrounding stationary tissues. We present a new TOF sequence in which magnetization transfer contrast is used to supplement wash. in effects. Angiograms

✦ Synopsis
A three-dimensional Fourier transform magnetic resonance imaging technique is presented. This procedure can be used to selectively detect flowing material such as blood in arteries and veins. Since flow is detected in a manner in which velocity-induced phase shifts are compensated, signal loss arising from complex flow and turbulence is minimized. The flow image is sensitive to all velocity components of flow. Applications of this technique are limited, however, to relatively straight vessels having appreciable flow. Examples of application of this technique to healthy and diseased carotid arteries are shown.

Magnetic resonance angiography is most commonly performed with the three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) technique. As currently practiced. this requires long image acquisition times (5-10 minutes). The authors show that the acquisition time of 3D TOF images can be reduced to less than 1 minut
