• One image with velocity encoding positive!• One image with velocity encoding negative!• Vector sum of gradients determines direction of encoding!• Display phase difference between images!• Phase difference subtracts out off-resonance and other phase effects!
E. Wong, BE278, UCSD Winter 2013!
Phase Contrast MRA!• Phase is proportional to velocity!• Quantitate velocity from phase images and/or:!• Construct angiograms by MIP of velocity maps!

Diffusion Imaging!• Quantitative measure of local self diffusion coefficient!• Measurement in multiple directions gives information on
diffusion anisotropy and fiber orientation!
• Uses:!• Clinical applications in
stroke and white matter disease!
• White matter fiber tract mapping (anatomical connectivity)!
