    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to create magnetic resonance (MR) cine angiograms of a subject. The method includes controlling the MRI system to acquire MR data from the subject by performing at least one cine acquisition pulse sequence having a plurality of acquisition RF pulse modules applied at constant intervals throughout a cardiac cycle, and at least one labeling pulse sequence including a first and a second α/2 module and a labeling RF pulse module for labeling a region of inflowing arterial flow through a vessel of interest. The method further includes reconstructing the MR data to form a series of cine frames that form a cine angiogram, subtracting at least one cine frame from other cine frames reconstructed from the MR data, and displaying the MR cine angiogram of the vessel of interest.

    Abstract: A method for generating magnetic resonance images of a subject includes performing, using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, an interrupted three-dimensional (3D) single shot unbalanced steady-state free precession (uSSFP) pulse sequence to acquire MR data for each of a plurality of partitions associated with a region of interest of a subject. The interrupted 3D single shot uSSFP pulse sequence may be configured to suppress blood signal in the region of interest. The MR data for each partition is acquired as a single shot along an in-plane phase-encoding direction and the acquisition of MR data for each partition is synchronized to a phase of a cardiac cycle. The method further includes generating, using a processor, an image with blood suppression based on the acquired MR data.

    Abstract: A method for generating magnetic resonance (MR) images of a subject includes performing, using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, a steady-state pulse sequence to acquire MR data from a region of interest in the subject. The steady-state pulse sequence includes a contrast-modifying (CM) radio frequency (RF) pulse applied periodically at a predetermined time interval followed by a gradient spoiler pulse. The CM RF pulse has a flip angle with a value determined based on a minimum Ernst angle for a set of one or more background tissues in the region of interest that the CM RF pulse is configured to suppress with respect to a tissue of interest. The method further includes generating an image with Ti contrast based on the acquired MR data.
