Residual background phase offsets due to eddy-currents limit the accuracy of flow quantification in 4D flow imaging. Commonly utilized polynomial regression of stationary voxels to correct background phase, however, is unreliable in the presence of wrap-around artifact. Here, we present an automated approach to identify and exclude regions of wrap-around from the fit, and validate its effectiveness in phantom and in vivo.
