The present study aims to improve accuracy and noise
level of four-dimensional velocity encoding (VENC) MRI
by employing multiple VENC parameters. A 4D PC-MRI
sequence with five different VENC parameters was
employed to measure three dimensional flow field in a
stenosis flow phantom. The velocity field from larger
VENC value was combined with that of smaller VENC value
unless the velocity data are lost by phase-aliasing and
phase dispersion. Results showed that multi-VENC
overlapping significantly increased accuracy of the flow
measurement with reduction of the noise, and wide
velocity dynamics range.
