Abstract
An NMR system performs a dual-echo fast-spin-echo scan to acquire two NMR data sets from which proton density-weighted and T.sub.2 -weighted images may be reconstructed. The two NMR data sets are combined to produce a composite NMR data set from which a black blood NMR angiogram is produced by a minimum intensity projection.
