Abstract
A system and method for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to create magnetic resonance (MR) angiograms of a subject. The method includes controlling the MRI system to acquire MR data by performing a pulse sequence that includes at least one set of modules formed by a first α/2 module, a (readout, α)n module, a second α/2 module. In this case, α denotes a radiofrequency (RF) flip angle and n denotes a number of times that the set of modules is repeated. The method also includes reconstructing an MR angiogram of the subject from the MR data.
