AB  - Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) using steady-state free precession 
      (SSFP) pulse sequences is described. Using SSFP, vascular structures can be 
      visualized with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a substantial (delay) time 
      after the initial arterial pass of contrast media. The peak blood SSFP signal was 
      diminished by <20% 30 min after the initial administration of 0.2 mmol/kg of 
      Gd-chelate. The proposed method allows a second opportunity to study arterial or 
      venous structures with high image SNR and high spatial resolution. A mask 
      subtraction scheme using spin echo SSFP-S(-) acquisition is also described to 
      reduce stationary background signal from the delayed SSFP angiography images.
