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

## Abstract Timeโofโflight effects depend on the displacement of blood with respect to a region of excitation. When combined with static material suppression and projection imaging, timeโofโflight effects provide a flexible means of flow sensitization for magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. Bolus
## Abstract Threeโdimensional magnetizationโprepared (MP) MR angiography (MRA) was applied to the carotid and vertebral arteries by using ECG triggering, a slab selective RF inversion pulse, centric phase encoding and acquisition during diastole. Both theoretically and experimentally, the MP MRA se
## Abstract Uniform fat saturation over a large region of interest remains a problem in timeโofโflight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography applications. We demonstrate that a variable echo time with an opposed phase value at low spatial slice select frequencies can effectively reduce most of the f
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 arisi
