Phase contrast measurements can either be acquired with
a breath-held segmented acquisition or a free-breathing
acquisition with multiple averages to mitigate
respiratory motion artifacts. The breath-held techniques
require long breath-holds that are poorly tolerated by
patients and the multiple average acquisitions are time
consuming and suffer from reduced vessel edge sharpness.
This work proposes a new approach for free breathing
phase contrast velocity measurements where motion
correction is explicitly integrated into the
reconstruction along with non-linear parallel imaging.
The technique provides faster high-resolution free
breathing flow quantification.
