Abstract
A method, which is performed by an MRI apparatus, of scanning a blood vessel, includes: sequentially applying, according to a time-of-flight (TOF) method, radio frequency (RF) pulses respectively to first grouped slabs during a first repetition time (TR); sequentially acquiring MR signals respectively corresponding to the RF pulses applied during the first TR; sequentially applying, according to the TOF method, RF pulses respectively to second grouped slabs during a second TR; and sequentially acquiring MR signals respectively corresponding to the RF pulses applied during the second TR.
