Abstract
A method for creating a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) image including the steps of acquiring a magnetic resonance image in which a predetermined slice is excited using a train of radiofrequency (RF) pulses; and acquiring image data between the RF pulses such that the excited slice is viewable from a side view rather than from a face view. An MRA image generated by the steps of acquiring a magnetic resonance image in which a predetermined slice is excited using a train of radiofrequency (RF) pulses; acquiring image data between the RF pulses; viewing a side view of the slice, including dynamic spins within and exiting the slice.
