No one has assessed the influence of slice-selective Tag
pulse position for separation of pulmonary venography
from atreiography using time-SLIP technique. We
hypothesized that non-CE-MRA using time-SLIP technique
at 3T had significant influence of slice-selective Tag
position to separately visualize pulmonary vein from
artery. The purpose of this study was thus to
prospectively and directly compare the influence of
slice-selective Tag position for separation of pulmonary
vein from artery on non-CE-MRA with time-SLIP technique
at in vivo study.
