## Abstract Normal blood flow and velocity in the superior sagittal sinus were measured in 30 patients. A fast two‐dimensional ungated phase‐contrast (PC) pulse sequence was compared with a peripherally gated cine PC technique for velocity and flow quantitation. The same imaging parameters were use

✦ Synopsis
Purpose:
To compare actual and predicted frequency response of reconstruction algorithms applied to anatomic and phase-contrast velocity cine images.
Materials and methods:
Anatomic and phase-contrast velocity segmented cine gradient echo images were collected from a stationary, doped-agarose phantom, using non-phase-contrast cine and phase-contrast cine with one to three directional encodings, one to 16 views per segment, and nearest-neighbor or linear interpolation. temporal power spectra from object pixels were fit to linear transfer function models; nearest-neighbor interpolation by a sinc function and linear interpolation by a sinc(2) function.
Results:
Simple linear transfer function models predicted >98% of the observed power spectral variation. finite word effects produced small systematic differences at high temporal frequency.
Conclusion:
Temporal power spectra of cine images collected from stationary objects completely characterizes low pass filtration effects of interpolation.
