Abstract
Saturation transfer contrast (STC) techniques have been employed to decrease the signal intensity of observed water by saturating a broad proton component. The STC pulse, generally spatially nonselective, reduces the signal of brain background tissues as well as inflowing blood in 3D time-of-flight (TOF) angiography. We present a novel technique, a slice-selective off-resonance sinc pulse (SORS), which is employed to enhance inflowing blood and to suppress the signal of stationary background tissues. The STC effects of the SORS and other spatially nonselective methods influencing inflowing blood is discussed in detail. Angiograms using the SORS method are also presented to demonstrate improved vessel conspicuity. In addition, the SORS method is applicable to imagers with a whole-body RF transmitter system.
