Abstract
Intraarterial injections of small doses of gadopentetate dimeglumine were c ombined with a fast spoiled-gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) sequence to obtain real-time projection angiographic images of the rabbit aorta and canine coronary arteries. Arterial filling and washout, as well as venous a nd perfusion phases, were clearly displayed, demonstrating that arterial fl uoroscopy in which an MR technique is used is feasible.
