The flexible reconstruction of 5D flow MRI data may be particularly beneficial in pediatric cases where cardiac cycle length varies greatly. We compared flow measurements from 5D flow and 2D phase contrast. 5D flow data was reconstructed using either a cardiac bin width of 40ms or that matching the 2D phase contrast reconstruction. We find excellent correlation of both 5D flow reconstructions with 2D phase contrast. There is overestimation of arterial flow measures by 5D flow, with most overestimation by the short temporal resolution reconstruction. Further study should additionally compare with 4D flow MRI.
