✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Time‐of‐flight effects depend on the displacement of blood with respect to a region of excitation. When combined with static material suppression and projection imaging, time‐of‐flight effects provide a flexible means of flow sensitization for magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. Bolus tracking, flow enhancement by spin replacement, and selective tagging are three classes of methods being pursued for MR angiography. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.

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 ## Purpose To establish the feasibility of intracranial time‐of‐flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) at 7T using phased array coils and to compare its performance to 3T. ## Materials and Methods In an initial study, five normal volunteers were scanned at 7T and 3T using eight‐channel co
Magnetic resonance MR is a rapidly evolving field for imaging soft tissues and blood vessels, noninvasively. Currently, the field of magnetic resonance angiography ( ) MRA is the subject of widespread interest for the assessment of vascular disease. The need for such a noninvasive modality stems fro
## Abstract A spatially asymmetric RF pulse that improves the uniformity of blood signal intensity and vascular contrast in three‐dimensional (3D) MR angiorpgphy [MRA] is presented. The pulse, called variable‐angle uniform signal excitation (VUSE), was designed to provide uniform signal response an
Flow-related artifacts remain a significant concern for magnetic resonance (MR) angiography because their appearance in angiograms adversely impacts accuracy in evaluation of arterial stenoses. In this paper, a half-pulse excitation scheme for improved two-dimensional time-of-flight (2D TOF) angiogr
