Abstract

The sequence of radiofrequency and magnetic field gradients used to form an NMR image produces changes in the signals emitted by moving blood when compared to the signals from stationary blood. These changes can be used to measure the open area of vessels. In addition, specific relaxation time signatures of lesions may help in identifying the nature of the obstructions.
