  • Magnetic resonance imaging with dual velocity encoded projection reconstruction acquisition
    Patent number: 7049816
    Abstract: A phase contrast image is produced using a 3D projection reconstruction pulse sequence. A high velocity-to-noise image is produced by using a LOW VENC motion encoding gradient. Phase wrap errors caused by high velocity flow is corrected using phase information in a HIGH VENC image produced from highly undersampled data acquired during the same scan.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2006
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Charles A. Mistretta, Kevin Michael Johnson, Tianliang Gu
