A method for estimating the standard deviation of velocity within a voxel is proposed. This estimate is based on data collected using a phase-contrast MRI technique. Simulations are presented to characterize the estimate and in vivo data are shown. Several different uses of the estimate are proposed

The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and precision of time-averaged flow as measured by nontriggered 2D PC. Mono-, bi-, and triphasic flow patterns, modelling waveforms encountered in the human vascular system, were generated by a computer-controlled flow system. Time-averaged flow v
## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the influence of the truncated sampling of __k__βspace data on the accuracy of phaseβcontrast (PC) flow quantifications in the presence of nearby vessels. ## Materials and Methods Computer simulations were performed along with some experimental validations on a
