Abstract:
In ECG-triggered FLASH-MR images, the inflow of unsaturated spins into the imaging plane results in the reproducible delineation of time variant flow in the arterial system. With the additional acquisition of an external reference image upstream the arterial vessel under investigation, the quantification of flow is possible with the FLASH-MR sequence in one measurement. The method allows the rapid measurement of arterial flow at least in great vessels.
