Phase Contrast Flow Quantification. Acquisition occurs over several heartbeats, but generally within a breathhold. Single slice, multiphase (i.e. one slice location is acquired per breath hold) Each acquisition results in the reconstruction two cines, a phase-cine (above upper) and a magnitude-cine (above lower).

· INTRODUCTION. Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a powerful tool for the quantification of blood flow velocity. Clinically, PC-MRI velocity mapping is used primarily for volume flow measurements (1, 2).Three-dimensional three-directional time-resolved PC-MRI velocity mapping has been used to study blood flow, for example, in the heart (4, 5) and aorta (6, 7).
· Phase contrast angiography relies on dephasing the moving spins submitted to a bipolar gradient. For a bipolar gradient of a given intensity and time, the moving spins will dephase in proportion to their velocity. Similar to spatial encoding in the phase direction, the possible phase values range from

4D flow MRI is an established technique able to deepen the complex fluid-dynamic phenomena induced by different cardiovascular pathologies. This technique may play a key role in identifying sound fluid-dynamic markers for a prompt identification of cardiovascular pathologies. However, 4D flow is not currently used in clinical practice due to its laborious post-processing.
We propose fast phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (PC-cine MRI) to allow breath-hold acquisition, and we compared intracranial hemo- and hydrodynamic parameters obtained during breath holding between full inspiration and end expiration.

· Image phase measured by gradient-echo sequences has provided a new source of contrast for MRI. In the brain, image phase not only provides clear delineation between gross anatomical structures but also shows substructures unseen in conventional magnitude images such as certain layers of the cortex (Duyn et al., 2007 Rauscher et al., 2005).
· Stroke volume and cardiac output from phase-contrast MRI. In navigator based, EKG-gated free-breathing phase-contrast flow, mean stroke volume and cardiac output were 79.7 ± 17.1 ml and 5071 ± 1192 ml/min, respectively (Table 2). The duration of the acquisition was 50 ± 6 s.
The only technique capable of measuring three-dimensional flow patterns over time in vivo is time-resolved three-dimensional phase contrast MRI (PC-MRI). In this thesis in vitro PC-MRI was compared with particle image velocimetry and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In vivo PC-MRI was compared with patient-specific CFD in eight aneurysms.
(PC) Phase contrast sequences are the basis of MRA techniques utilizing the change in the phase shifts of the flowing protons in the region of interest to create an image. Spins that are moving along the direction of a magnetic field gradient receive a phase shift proportional to their velocity. In a phase contrast sequence two data sets with a different amount of flow sensitivity are acquired.

One challenge of phase contrast MR and 4D PC-MRI in particular is the choice of the optimal veloc-ity encoding setting (V enc). The V enc determines the dynamic range of the velocity map obtained from the acquisition. If the V enc is set too low, phase ali-asing, also known as phase wrapping, occurs in regions of velocities exceeding the V enc
Time of flight angiography (inflow) and phase contrast angiography works without contrast agents. Only in contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography is the use of contrast agents necessary, but the lack of side effects is an advantage of MRI contrast agents, just as the smaller dosage as used in X-ray angiography techniques.

With phase-contrast imaging, the MRI signal is used to visualize and quantify velocity. This imaging modality relies on phase data, which are intrinsic to all MRI signals. With use of bipolar gradients, degrees of phase shift are encoded and in turn correlated directly with the velocity of protons.
