Projection angiograms of blood labeled by adiabatic fast passage

Abstract
A surface coil on the neck causes adiabatic fast passage in blood as it flows by through a magnetic field gradient. This allows separation of blood and stationary tissue images of the head. Coronal and sagittal images of a volunteer are presented showing the vertebral and common, internal and external carotid arteries in projection views. © 1986 Academic Press, Inc.
