Conventional phase-contrast (PC) MRI method relies on ECG-synchronized cine acquisition to acquire data over multiple cardiac cycles. The underlying spatiotemporal averaging limits this method to studying pathological irregularities. Real-time PC-MRI is a promising approach to overcome these limitations. Although several techniques have been developed to real-time PC-MRI, few have been fully validated due to the difficulty of acquiring a reference data set as gold standard. This study aims at validating the accuracy of a novel real-time PC-MRI technique through both flow phantom experiments and in vivo experiments.
