The angiography techniques rely on differences in the MR signal that distinguish blood and surrounding soft tissue. The company showcased Fresh Blood Imaging, Contrast-free Improved Angiography, and Time-spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse, positioning these contrast-free imaging techniques as alternatives to gadolinium-based agents. The use of such agents has been associated with the occurrence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
