Vessel size imaging is a relatively new technique in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. By measuring the change in the transverse relaxation constants R₂ and R*₂ caused by the injection of a superparamagnetic contrast agent known as ferumoxtran, it is possible to create a map of vessel size index, which...
