Key Points

• This research aims to assess the effectiveness of SAM phase contrast MR angiography in visualizing slow-flow hand vessels.
• Utilized SAM PC-MRA for visualization and flow quantification in hand vasculature.
• Conducted initial evaluation focusing on artery-vein separation.
• Performed high-resolution imaging to capture detailed vascular structures.
• Demonstrated high-resolution images of slow-flow hand vessels.
• Achieved accurate time-averaged flow quantification.
• Successfully separated artery and vein visualization.
