V. Dousset et al., MAGNETIZATION-TRANSFER ON IN-VITRO CIRCULATING BLOOD - IMPLICATIONS FOR TIME-OF-FLIGHT MR-ANGIOGRAPHY, Journal of magnetic resonance imaging, 5(6), 1995, pp. 786-788
Effects of magnetization transfer were evaluated in vitro on circulati
ng blood. Various velocities were tested from 0 to 72 cm/second. Decre
ase signal intensity caused by magnetization transfer effects was inve
rsely proportional to inflow velocity. It reached 10% at very low velo
cities and disappeared at velocities higher than 30 cm/second.
