Arterial
spin labeling (ASL) sequences which utilize tagging schemes to images the
flow of blood have emerged as effective techniques for the non-contrast
angiography; however, these techniques typically suffer from long acquisition
times, sensitivity to tag delay parameters, and uncertain performance in
cases of complex flow . To mitigate
these errors, we investigate the utilization of highly accelerated, dynamic
inflow imaging utilizing efficient, short TR 3D radial bSSFP sequences.
