Abdominal three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography was performed in
35 patients in the equilibrium phase without fat saturation, with conventi
onal fat saturation, and with fast partial fat saturation. Qualitative and
quantitative evaluation demonstrated significantly better vessel visualizat
ion with both fat-saturated techniques. The partial fat-saturated technique
provided water-specific images within a breath hold, reducing motion artif
acts significantly.
