title: Some results of high-flow-velocity NMR imaging using selection gradient.
abstract: A simple and new flow velocity measurement technique using conventional spin-echo sequence is proposed and its applications to a preclinical result are presented. This technique utilizes the phase velocity encoding effect due to 180 degrees rf and its corresponding selection gradient. This phase encoding and its phase velocity relations have been obtained by numerical solution of the Bloch equation. A flow velocity measurement obtained with a volunteer using this proposed technique indicates close agreement with other previously measured values.
