(CSVEMP) MR imaging pulse sequence in which signals for multiple contiguous slices at multiple echoes are collected.

(MEMP) Sequence with a multislice and multi echo acquisition in one TR.

(MIP) MRA images can be processed by Maximum Intensity Projection to interactively create different projections. The MIP connects the high intensity dots of the blood vessels in three dimensions, providing an angiogram that can be viewed from any projection. Each point in the MIP represents the highest intensity experienced in that location on any partition within the imaging volume.
For complete interpretation the base slices should also be reviewed individually and with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) software. The MIP can then be displayed in a CINE format or filmed as multiple images acquired from different projections. Although the maximum intensity projection (MIP) algorithm is sensitive to high signal from inflowing spins, it is also sensitive to high signal of any other etiology.

(MOTSA) This technique combines the best features of 2D time of flight angiography (2D TOF) and 3D TOF MRA. The MOTSA technique consists of multiple 2 cm thick 3D TOF slabs (which minimize saturation effects for through plane flow) combine to provide unlimited coverage similar to multiple 2D TOF slices. High resolution imaging of the carotid arteries is possible when image quality is of greater concern than acquisition time. Images with 1 mm (or less) spatial resolution in all three planes are required. The slabs typically overlap 25-40 to minimize the venetian blind artifact venetian blind artifact due to minimal saturation effects. MOTSA is an useful technique for the evaluation of vertebrobasilar ischemia and aneurysm scanning from the foramen magnum through the circle of Willis.

(MRCP) This MR imaging technique takes advantage of the high signal intensity of body fluids and acquires heavy T2 weighted images of the gall bladder, the pancreas and parts of the liver. Due to the T2 weighting, the liver and other solid parenchyma are signal suppressed and only fluid-filled structures in addition to the gall bladder, the bile and pancreatic ducts retain important signal intensity. Hepatobiliary contrast agents (e.g. Gadoxetic Acid, CMC 001) can be useful for enhancement of the bile ducts and better imaging of the biliary tract.
A 2D cholangiogram, often only one thick slice (a volume with a thickness of 4 - 8 cm, mostly coronal planned) or 5 - 6 radial placed slices, shows a view like single slices. If a 3D acquisition is used, the postprocessing function maximum intensity projection (MIP) can show reconstructions from multiple sides.
