To improve the quality of projection angiograms generated from three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) angiography data, the authors applied voxel shifting to create intermediate sections ("section doubling") prior to maximum intensity projection. To date, the authors have processed MR angiography studies with and without section doubling in 20 cases. Section doubling resulted in improved vessel contrast and delineation of continuity (especially of small vessels) in all cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
