Dual-venc 4D flow MRI was applied in 5 healthy volunteers at two different field strengths of 3T and 7T and at two different isotropic spatial image resolutions, approximately (1.2mm)³ and (0.8mm)³. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effect of field strength as well as the impact of resolution for intracranial 4D flow MRI with respect to image quality (vessel sharpness and depiction of small intracranial vessels) and quantification of intracranial flow parameters (net flow, peak velocity).
