A new workflow was developed based on the information from 4D flow MRI to optimize the phase contrast MR angiogram. Five new PC-MRA algorithms were tested on 15 patients, and compared with and without the proposed pre-processing. Histogram equalization/remapping was applied to improve the dynamic signal range for easier segmentation and reduced user interaction. Results showed higher-quality PC-MRAs when the proposed pre-processing was applied.
