Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is configured to effect magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) data acquisition sequences including electrocardiogram (ECG) triggered fresh blood imaging (FBI) images respectively associated with systolic and diastolic phases of ECG cycles. An operator input and display interface may be configured to provide operator options for independently controlling at least one imaging sequence parameter to have a different value for each of systolic and diastolic phase images in an FBI MRI data acquisition sequence.
