## Abstract Velocityβencoded phase imaging using asynchronous gating requires input of a velocity encoding value to set the velocity sensitivity of the pulse sequence. The raw data interpolation and reconstruction scheme that the pulse sequence uses forces the encoding value to be constant througho

Abstract
A procedure for the quantitative measurement of blood velocity was developed and evaluated in the portal vein, aorta, and vena cava of healthy volunteers. This procedure utilizes Fourier velocity encoding and can be performed with or without cardiac gating. The accuracy of velocity measurements is determined by the accuracy of the gradient subsystem. How measurements derived from the velocity measurement are further limited in their accuracy by the luminal crossβsection measurement. Spatial localization is accomplished with an excitation pulse having a cylindrical rather than slab geometry. Data are acquired in the presence of a readout gradient to provide resolution along the cylindrical axis. Β© 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract Accurate flow visualization and quantitation is important for the assessment of many cardiovascular conditions such as valvular stenosis and regurgitation. Phase contrast based methods experience partial volume artifacts when flow is highly localized, complex and/or turbulent. Fourier v
An NMR imaging technique applicable to high-velocity flow imaging is described. By subtraction of two phase images obtained by varying the flow-encoding gradient, it is possible to extract much larger ranges of velocity components. This differential phaseencoding technique is tested by experiments i
