## Abstract For a variety of reasons, small vessels have low signal Intensity in magnetic resonance angiography. When the vessel signal intensity is lower than the signal intensity of background tissues, these vessels tend not to be visible on maximum‐intensity‐projection images. The authors develo

## Abstract Small vessels in three‐dimensional MR angiograms have low visibility in maximum‐intensity projection images because of their low contrast. In a previous study, we had two nonlinear filters that appeared to give significant improvement in small vessel detail. In this paper, we report on
## Abstract In order to enhance 3D image data from magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), a novel method based on the theory of multidimensional adaptive filtering has been developed. The purpose of the technique is to suppress image noise while enhancing important structures. The method is based on
## Abstract Noninvasiveness, inherent three‐dimensionality allowing reformations in any desired plane, and safe contrast agents, coupled with high diagnostic accuracy have driven the rise in popularity of contrast‐enhanced MR angiography (CE‐MRA) within the medical community. Reflecting its dominan
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate visualization inside platinum stents with three‐dimensional contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE‐MRA). ## Materials and Methods Breath‐hold three‐dimensional gadolinium (Gd) MRA was performed on 18 patients with 22 platinum stents in the renal (
