Abstract

Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) also known as velocity-encoded cine magnetic resonance imaging (VENC-MRI) is the primary technique for blood flow measurements, qualitative and quantitative information on both flow volume and flow velocity in the great vessels. In this chapter, we discuss the basics of phase-contrast MRI techniques, describe the pitfalls and limitations associated with phase-contrast imaging, provide guidelines for post processing and data analysis, and present specific clinical applications.
