A flow-sensitive black blood (FSBB) sequence is usually used for 3D-T2*WI imaging. In an FSBB sequence, the vascular signal is suppressed by the effect of motion-probin- gradient (MPG) pulses. If this advantageous signal suppression is used, then 'contrast-enhanced volume black blood imaging' could be obtained.
