4D flow is a MRI technique characterized by long scanning times. Because of that, it is difficult to study the variability of flow parameters when subjected to changes of the MR parameters. The purpose of this work is to study the variability of different flow parameters due to changes of spatial and temporal resolutions in 4D flow acquisitions through controlled experiments using a realistic normal adult thoracic aortic phantom. We conclude that changing the spatial and temporal resolutions in the 4D flow imaging greatly affects different flow parameters with induced errors of up to 23.9%.
