Imaging was performed using a 1.0 Tesla superconducting MR system with a body coil. Two-dimensional(2D) turbo FLASH sequence and/or three-dimensional(3D) FISP sequence were carried out in 46 volunteers with 113 pulmonary MRA. The total MRAs were divided into 4 groups and analysed. The results showed: After Gd-DTPA was injected, the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of pulmonary 2D- and 3D-TOF MRA was increased in 46 normal pulmonary MR angiography cases(P < 0.01); the number of left and right pulmonary artery divisions identified was much greater than that before Gd-DTPA injection both in 2D- and 3D-MOF(except lingual segment of left lobe). It is suggested that Gd-DTPA may markedly promote the efficiency of pulmonary MRA.
