This paper describes the basic principles of gradient modulated adiabatic passage using a CW radiofrequency excitation. The possible applications of this technique include a direct assessment of in-plane and oblique directional flow velocities, and visualization of flow velocity profiles. Flow angiography based on the time-of-flight technique is also discussed with experimental results.
