Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve dynamic two-dimensional projection magnetic resonance digital subtraction angiography by using remasking and filtering postprocessing techniques. Four methods were evaluated in 50 patients: default mask subtraction, remasked subtraction, filtering based on the SD, and linear filtering. The results demonstrated that postprocessing techniques such as linear filtering can reduce background motion artifacts and improve arterial contrast-to-noise ratio.
