Multiple overlapping three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight carotid MR angiography potentially combines many of the desirable features of two-dimensional (2D) and single-volume 3D MR angiographic imaging techniques. Yet the maximum-intensity-projection images from such acquisitions are often degraded by artifact due to nonuniform signal intensity of contiguous imaging volumes and inadequate, yet arduous, postprocessing. The former has been termed venetian blind artifact. To date, the severity of the artifact has been minimized by the use of very thin slabs with a large percentage of overlap. However, the artifact typically is still appreciable, and the required acquisition and postprocessing times are increased. The purpose of this study was to examine the value of technical modifications of both the multislab acquisition and postprocessing procedures to reduce this artifact on images of healthy volunteers.
