摘要：

To improve 3D-time of flight (3D-TOF) magnetic resonance angiography, we used magnetisation transfer (MT) to increase the contrast between flowing blood and stationary tissues. With a 1.5 KHz off-resonance radio-frequency MT applied for 16 ms at a maximum power within specific absorption rate (SAR) limits, a 37% decrease in the signal of white matter was obtained, whereas the signal from flowing blood decreased by only 8%. An improvement in maximum intensity projection (MIP) image quality was obtained all MT-3DTOF studies on seven volunteers using progressively more powerful MT pulses. Routine clinical use of MT-3DTOF appears promising and can be achieved at any strength field.
