The new velocity-selective saturation (VSS) pulse train,
by embedding a pair of composite pulses for refocusing
in each k-segment and phase cycling applied over
consecutive k-segments, offers improved robustness to
B0/B1 inhomogeneity in the brain at 3T.
Velocity-selective magnetization-prepared
non-contrast-enhanced cerebral MR angiography was
demonstrated on healthy volunteers. Compared with TOF
MRA, VSS prepared MRA depicted more distal branches of
cerebral arteries and allowed for the whole-brain
coverage without the requirement of section positioning
orthogonal to the direction of flow.
