This work presents a method to accelerate 4D flow
imaging using a physics-based image model. This model is
generated by integrating computational fluid dynamics
into image reconstruction: we solve the Navier-Stokes
equations with boundary conditions reconstructed from
limited (k,t)-space data, and we reconstruct 4D
velocity-encoded images using the Navier-Stokes solution
as a constraint. This physics-based constraint
complements existing image models that enforce
mathematical properties of cardiovascular images (e.g.,
sparsity, low-rankness) to further enhance the speed and
reconstruction quality of 4D flow MRI.
