Abstract

See full text

A system and method is provided for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) that includes applying a labeling pulse sequence to a labeling region of a subject having a first portion of a vasculature extending through the labeling region to label spins moving within the labeling region and acquiring labeling data from labeled spins moving in the subject. The labeling data is analyzed to determine a velocity of the labeled spins and the velocity of the labeled spins is compared to a predetermined metric to determine when the subject is in a predetermined cardiac phase. When in a desired cardiac phase, an imaging pulse sequence is applied to an imaging region of the subject having a second portion of the vasculature extending through the imaging region to acquire medical imaging data from the imaging region. The imaging region is separate from labeling region.
