title: Recent advances in magnetic resonance angiography of the brain.
abstract: Newer techniques in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) are faster, have higher resolution, and have greater vascular conspicuity than the early techniques introduced just a few years ago. Advances in 'black blood' and 'bright blood' (time-of-flight and phase-contrast) MRA are discussed with attention to saturation effects, use of gadolinium, and background suppression with magnetization transfer contrast.
