Method and magnetic resonance apparatus for determination of magnetic resonance angiography images using time-of-flight angiography

摘要

In a method and apparatus, magnetic resonance angiography images of an examination volume of a patient are obtained using time-of-flight angiography in a magnetic resonance scanner. By continuous recording, a number of two-dimensional slice images covering the examination volume along an axial direction are acquired in a slice-by-slice layer-wise, such as with overlapping. The slice images are divided into groups of, in each case, a predetermined number of consecutive slice images in the axial direction. A maximum intensity projection image is determined for each group, and the angiography images are determined as the maximum intensity projection images and/or dependent on the maximum intensity projection images.
