Phase Contrast MRI (PC-MRI) measures the flow of blood. In order to obtain high-quality measurements, patients must hold their breath for ~20 seconds, which oftentimes can be difficult. Advances in deep learning (DL) have allowed for the reconstruction of highly undersampled MRI data. A 2D PC-MRI DL-ESPIRiT network was recently proposed to undersample the data acquisition by up to 8x without compromising clinically relevant measures of flow accuracy within ±5%. This work uses k-fold cross validation to evaluate the DL-ESPIRiT network on 2D PC-MRI data in terms of accuracy and variability for pixel velocity, peak velocity, and net flow.
