摘要
Magnetic resonance (MR) phase-difference methods work well for measuring volumetric flow rates when the vessel diameter is large compared with the in-plane voxel dimensions. For small vessels (eg, coronary arteries), partial-volume effects introduce substantial errors in the measured volume flow rate. To correctly measure flow rates through a voxel, both the fraction of the voxel containing moving spins and the phase shift imparted to those spins must be known, The authors propose a flow measurement method that combines information obtained with both the complex-difference and phase-difference processing techniques and thereby provides the fractional volume occupied by the moving spins and the phase of those spins, The complex-difference flow map method proposed results in improved accuracy of MIR phase-contrast flow measurements in the presence of partial-volume effects,
