Current trends in medicine are moving toward minimally
invasive diagnosis. These include needle-free
non-contrast MRI methods. Acoustic noise still remains a
challenge using conventional imaging methods. The
hypothesis of this work is that a Magnetization transfer
preparation pulse combined with a zero-TE data
acquisition can provide non-contrast MRA with minimal
acoustic noise.
