4D flow normally uses respiratory gating to mitigate breathing artifacts for thoracic and abdominal applications. Respiratory Controlled Adaptive k-space Reordering (ReCAR) employs k-space reordering based on the current respiratory position. It has been reported to increase respiratory gating efficiency for 4D flow applications. The purpose of this study was to systematically compare the image quality of 4D flow data acquired with and without adaptive k-space reordering.
