To decrease scan time while maintaining SNR and velocity dynamic range of dual-venc 2D phase-contrast MRI with 3-directional velocity encoding, the sequence was modified to zero-fill the extremes of k-space in the high-venc (HV) acquisition while collecting fully sampled low-venc (LV). In vitro sensitivity analysis shows antialiasing success over 95% with up to 50% zero-filled HV scans. Preliminary data from a healthy control aorta indicate that antialiasing success approaching 100% can be maintained using HV scans. This promising approach may be extended to further improve flow encoding efficiency in volumetric scans.
