✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The two main phase‐contrast reconstruction methods are phase difference and complex difference. The signal‐to‐noise ratio properties and relative advantages of the two techniques are discussed. It is argued that each processing method has applications in which it is superior, and guidelines are provided to determine those applications. It is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that only the complex‐difference method is well suited for processing phase‐contrast slabs with use of a projection dephaser gradient.

## Abstract Regional pulmonary blood flow can be assessed using both dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MR and phase‐contrast (PC) MR. These methods provide somewhat complementary information: DCE MR can assess flow over the entire lung while PC MR can detect rapid changes in flow to a targeted region
