To optimize dual-venc 4D Flow MRI parameters for flow assessment in brain arteriovenous malformations, we conducted an in-vitro optimization analysis and compared it to in-vivo data from a patient with complex AVM. Using k-t acceleration factors of 2-5 and about 2-10 voxels across the imaged vessels, we quantified the agreement with the ground truth flow and geometry. We applied a flow distribution network graph concept to characterize flow conservation as an additional quality metric. Data indicated that approximately 5 voxels across imaged vessels are needed, consistent with results from previous publications.
