Magnetic Resonance Angiography Using Fresh Blood Imaging in Oral and Maxillofacial Regions
Figure 1
MRA using 3D-TOF (a) and 3D-PC (b) in the oral and maxillofacial regions of a healthy 33-year-old volunteer. (a) On MRA using 3D-TOF, mainly the carotid, maxillary, and facial arteries are shown clearly, but not its branches. The external carotid artery (arrow), internal carotid artery (black arrow), maxillary artery (arrowhead), and facial artery (black arrowhead). Acquisition time was 6 minutes and 39 seconds. (b) On MRA using 3D-PC, the carotid, maxillary, facial, and other peripheral arteries are shown in the same subject as in Figure 1(a). The external carotid artery (arrow), internal carotid artery (black arrow), maxillary artery (arrowhead), and facial artery (black arrowhead). Acquisition time was 10 minutes and 15 seconds.
