Phase-contrast (PC) cine MRI is used for the clinical assessment of blood flow in various cardiovascular diseases. One of the challenges of PC is a trade-off between velocity aliasing artifacts and velocity-to-noise ratio (VNR). To improve VNR without velocity aliasing, we implemented a novel dual-venc dual-echo 2D cine PC sequence where both high and low-venc data are acquired within a single TR and velocity is measured using data from both venc images. In 10 patients, the dual-venc PC sequence demonstrated similar blood flow measurements with significantly better VNR compared to the standard single-venc PC sequence.
