## Abstract A new technique for multistep phase‐contrast image processing is presented. The __N__‐step method consists of simply forming the linear average of the __N__ — 1 adjacent phase‐difference signals. It has similar noise reduction properties as other multistep techniques, but the simplicity
## Abstract A conventional 3D phase contrast acquisition generates images with good spatial resolution, but often gives rise to artifacts due to pulsatile flow. 2D cine phase contrast, on the other hand, can register dynamic flow, but has a poor spatial resolution perpendicular to the imaging plane
## Abstract A simple algorithm named temporal phase unwrapping (TPU) is introduced to address the phase aliasing problem in time‐dependent pa contrast (CINE‐PC) velocity imaging. The method exploits the temporal continuity of velocity field and unwraps the phmc along time. TPU only involver a one‐d
## Abstract A new method of encoding flow velocity as image phase in a refocused steady‐state free precession (SSFP) sequence, called steady‐state phase contrast (SSPC), can be used to generate velocity images rapidly while retaining high signal. Magnitude images with refocused‐SSFP contrast are si
Velocity-encoded phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to quantify regional myocardial contractile function with a sensitivity to motion comparable to implanted ultrasonic crystals. An MRI sequence and postprocessing algorithm were developed to measure myocardial velocity
