Schematic illustration of selective opacity curves used in the opacity chart of MR signal intensities: increasing curve for the conventional parallel volume-rendered imaging (top), spiked peak curve for transluminal imaging (middle), and spiked peak curve with a stepwise square curve for transluminal flow imaging (bottom). Serial observation of transluminal flow images represents the intraaneurysmal flow patterns by superimposing stepwise extracted intraluminal volume data, with signal intensities ranging 350–500, 320–500, 290–500, 260–500, 230–500, and 200–500, respectively, onto the corresponding transluminal images with aneurysmal configurations.
