Self-referencing subtractive angiography by modified stimulated echo in magnetic resonance imaging.
In magnetic resonance imaging, the modified stimulated echo sequence (MSTE) method significantly reduces the signal from stationary nuclei. This sequence was successfully applied to transverse imaging, improving the contrast of moving materials. With the results reported here, it will be shown that projective angiography using MSTE is also feasible without the usual subtraction of two separated images. Another advantage is selectivity with respect to velocity.
