To validate radially undersampled 5-point velocity-encoded time-resolved flow-sensitive MRI (“PC-VIPR”) for quantification of ascending aortic (AAO) and main pulmonary artery (MPA) flow in-vivo Data from 18 healthy volunteers (41.6±16.2years (22–73); BMI 26.0±3.5 (19.1–31.4) scanned at 3T with a 32-channel-coil were included. Left and right ventricular stroke volumes (LVSV and RVSV, respectively) calculated from contiguous short-axis CINE-bSSFP slices were used as the primary reference for cardiac output. Flow measured from 2D-PC-MRI in the AAO and MPA served as a secondary reference. Time-resolved 3-dimensional flow-sensitive MRI (4D-Flow-MRI) using PC-VIPR was performed with a velocity sensitivity Venc=150cm/s reconstructed to 20 time frames at 1.4mm isotropic spatial resolution. In 11/20 subjects, phantom corrected 4D-Flow-MRI data was also assessed. Differences between methods of calculating LV and RV cardiac output were assessed with Bland-Altman analysis (BA, average difference ± 2SD). The QP/QS-ratio was calculated for each method. Initially, PCVIPR compared unfavorably to CINE-bSSFP (LVSV: 96.5±14.4ml, RVSV: 93.6±14.0mL vs. 81.2±24.3mL (AAO) and 85.6±25.4mL (MPA); p=0.027 and 0.25) with BA differences of −14.6±44.0mL (AAO) and −9.0±45.9mL (MPA). While phantom correction had minor effects on 2D-PC-MRI results and comparison to CINE-bSSFP, it improved PC-VIPR results: BA differences between CINE-bSSFP and PC-VIPR after correction were −1.4±15.3ml (AAO) and −4.1±16.1mL (MPA); BA comparison with 2D-PC-MRI improved to −12.0±48.1mL (AAO) and −2.2±19.5mL (MPA). QP/QS-ratio results for all techniques were within physiologic limits. Accurate quantification of AAO and MPA flows with radially undersampled 4D-Flow-MRI applying 5-point velocity encoding is achievable when phantom correction is used.
