Other factors affecting the signal strength are flip angle of radiofrequency pulse, repetition time (TR), and echo time (TE).
  • TOF-MRA is the most widely used vascular imaging technique in the medical field because it can present various vascular structures of individual subjects with excellent image resolution.
  • the related technologies continue to develop, so that complex blood flow phenomena such as vortex can be diagnosed, and microvessel images can be obtained recently.
