Abstract
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a well-established non-invasive technique for the evaluation of intracranial arterial and venous vasculature. It can be performed without and with administration of contrast agent. The use of high field scanners offer important advantages such as increase of the spatial and temporal resolution. Additional gains are obtained with parallel imaging, which significantly reduces examination times and increases anatomical coverage providing the same image quality.
