ABSTRACT:
A nuclear magnetic resonance projection image of fluid flow in a vessel is obtained by generating two data sets encoded with phase information indicative of two different velocity profiles of the fluid (taken at different times), combining the data sets, and displaying the resulting data set as an image.
