Please purchase the course before starting the lesson.

The TOF based and PCA methods are the conventional Non CE ( Contrast-Enhanced) techniques. The TOF  MRA related methods show flow related enhancement to identify moving spins. The PCA method shows the blood velocity, also called VENC (Velocity Encoding) and gives a complete suppression of non-moving spins. Those methods are discussed as the parameter settings and applications. Flow Quantification is using basically the PCA method.
