We propose a novel Deep Learning (DL) based reconstruction framework for accelerated 2D Phase Contrast MRI (PC-MRI) datasets. We extend a previously developed DL method based on ESPIRiT reconstruction for cardiac cine and combine it with a direct Complex Difference estimation approach. We tested the DL methods using retrospectively undersampled 2D PC-MRI data and compared it with conventional Compressed Sensing (CS) reconstruction. Our method outperformed CS and enabled higher acceleration factors up to 8x while maintaining error metrics within a targeted accuracy of ±5%.
