Blood flow: magnetic resonance imaging

WG Bradley Jr and V Waluch

The appearance of flowing fluid has been evaluated in several clinical situations using a flow phantom, computer simulation, and clinical magnetic resonance (MR) images. Unsaturated protons just entering the imaging volume can emit a strong signal relative to the partially saturated adjacent tissue ("flow-related enhancement"). Slow laminar flow in veins can be distinguished on the basis of a stronger second echo due to rephasing effects ("even echo rephasing"). Synchronization of the cardiac cycle and the MR pulsing sequence produces increased signal in sections acquired during diastole ("diastolic pseudogating"). Intraluminal signal is shown to decrease as velocity is increased ("high velocity signal loss"). Onset of turbulence causes further loss of signal. Direction of flow oblique to the imaging plane can be predicted on the basis of decreased upstream and increased downstream signal.
