Schematic of the FSD-prepared NC-MRA technique. In the bright-artery scan, both arterial blood and venous blood are of high signal intensity. In the dark-artery scan, arterial blood signals are mostly suppressed by FSD-preparation, whereas venous blood signals are only slightly reduced because of substantially slow flow. Thus, arterial blood signals remain and venous blood signals almost disappear upon image subtraction.
