The simultaneous quantification of blood velocity and tissue relaxation times could be a valuable tool for clinicians, especially in the carotid arteries, where atheroma plaques could occur. This can be achieved using the recently presented Flow-MRF technique that relies on the acquisition of randomly distributed gradients m1 momentum using a FISP MRF-sequence, with varying flip angle and fixed TR. In this work, Flow-MRF is extended to a time-resolved 3D acquisition and successfully applied in-vivo to the carotid bifurcation at 3T. T1, T2 and 3D time-resolved flow maps are recovered in a 3D slab.
