The need for phase‐encoding flow compensation in high‐resolution intracranial magnetic resonance angiography

To demonstrate that the time delay between phase and frequency encoding and the presence of pulsatile blood flow in high‐resolution time‐of‐flight (TOF) imaging of the intracranial arteries (especially near the circle of Willis) can distort the appearance of blood vessels and result in a cross‐hatch—appearing artifact in surrounding tissue.
