Results of abdominal VS-IR MRA from protocol (ii). Representative coronal MIP images from three subjects show excellent visualization of the abdominal aorta, renal arteries, and iliac arteries throughout the entire S/I FOV. Background signals are well suppressed except in the intestine that contains short T1 contents. Excellent arterial contrast and overall background suppression were achieved using a relatively short TI of 700 ms due to well-preserved arterial blood in the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries during the VS preparation.
