SUMMARY
One of the great advantages of MRI is its ability to image physiological flow of fluids (e.g. blood flow) often without the need for intravenous contrast. This allows for the imaging of:
1. Arteries: MR angiography
2. Veins: MR venography
3. CSF flow studies/cytometry: CSF flow
Image: The above is an MR angiogram demonstrating flow through cerebral vasculature.
