Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We developed a method of velocity-coded color MR angiography using a color code from the data obtained from velocity-phase images of phase-contrast MR angiography in order to add flow direction information to MR angiograms. Phase-contrast MR angiography with reconstruction of velocity-phase images was performed in 30 patients. Two projection images from velocity-phase images of each phase-contrast MR angiogram were obtained and assigned color according to flow direction. We then superimposed the two color images onto the maximum intensity projection image of the MR angiogram. The velocity-coded color MR angiogram clearly showed flow direction from the data on the phase-contrast MR angiogram of the neck. Veins were readily distinguishable from arteries, and flow changes, such as a subclavian steal, were also identified.
