Contrast-to-noise-ratio measurements in three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography.

abstract：RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:Time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF/MRA) is increasingly used to assess the nature and severity of stenotic blood vessels. Flow artifacts associated with high flows and/or narrow constrictions may confuse the interpretation of these studies. Accurate TOF/MRA evaluations demand an...
