PC HYPR flow: A technique for rapid imaging of contrast dynamics

To improve spatial and temporal resolution and signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) in three‐dimensional (3D) radial contrast‐enhanced (CE) time‐resolved MR angiography by means of a novel hybrid phase contrast (PC) and CE MRA acquisition and HYPR reconstruction (PC HYPR Flow).
