Flow-Independent Acquisition Techniques

  • Chapter
Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 357 Accesses

Abstract

In flow-dependent acquisition techniques, the blood vessel contrast is based on flow-induced effects. Indeed:

  1. 1.

    Flow can render the signal intensity of blood hyper-intense based on inflow-related enhancement

  2. 2.

    Flow can produce a signal void whenever the usual gradient compensation schemes are not appropriate for flowing spins

  3. 3.

    Flow can induce specific, flow-related phase angles.
