Left: Sagittal localizer MR angiogram illustrates the positioning of a two-dimensional phase-contrast MR angiographic section (16/9, 7.5° flip angle) for measurement of the volume flow through the internal carotid arteries and the basilar artery. Right: Quantitative flow values were obtained by means of integration across manually drawn regions of interest (on corresponding two-dimensional phase-contrast MR angiographic image) that enclosed the vessels. 1 = right-sided internal carotid artery, 2 = left-sided internal carotid artery, 3 = basilar artery. Line through the left image indicates the plane of the right image.
