| Abstract: | Effects of magnetization transfer were evaluated In vitro on circulating blood. Various velocities were tested from 0 to 72 cm/second. Decrease signal intensity caused by magnetization transfer effects was inversely proportional to inflow velocity. It reached 10% at very low velocities and disappeared at velocities higher than 30 cm/second. |
