The 2D-cine PC MRI allows to know precisely the arterial flow in small vessels but it is unsuited for clinical use. The principal aim of this study was to determine the precision loss when rapid monophasic PC sequences (whiches are not synchronised with cardiac cycle) are used compared to the traditional 2D-cine sequences in ten healthy volunteers. Pearson’s coefficient between the two technics was determined and Bland Altman tests were used. The precision loss was between 0,55 % et 27 %, depending on the studied vessel, so the monophasic PC sequences can be used for clinical vascular evaluation in pretherapeutic conditions.
