Distortions in the velocity fields acquired by 4D Flow MRI affect particle tracking based visualization and quantification methods. Particle residence time was calculated in a subject with aortic aneurysm and was used to assess how particle tracking methods are impacted by noise and offset errors. To do so, a computationally derived ideal velocity field was created and distorted by adding noise and background phase-offsets. We found that particle tracking methods are severely impacted by offset errors, though more robust to random noise. Understanding the limits of these methods is crucial for their appropriate use.
