TY - JOUR T1 - Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the extracranial carotid arteries: two techniques. JF - American Journal of Neuroradiology JO - Am. J. Neuroradiol.

In the first, arterial and arteriovenous phases are temporally resolved by timing contrast injection such that maximum arteriovenous signal intensity difference is matched to acquisition of central k-space. A second, faster sequence allows for temporal resolution of arterial, early arteriovenous, late arteriovenous, and washout arteriovenous phases without a need for precise injection timing. ER -
