Abstract
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has become a major tool in the ma nagement of vascular diseases. However, many artifacts that may lead t o misinterpretations are encountered with this imaging modality. The p urpose of this paper was to enumerate, explain and illustrate each kin d of artifact encountered with ''time of flight'' or ''phase contrast' ' imaging methods. For each artifact, we tried to provide one or sever al techniques to minimize its consequences.
