Excerpt
Phase offset errors from local eddy currents can lead to significant errors in flow assessment on clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations. Phantom correction for phase contrast (PC) errors appears to improve accuracy in flow assessment, but requires additional time and is not free from technical limitations. Background subtraction using a region of stationary tissue has been proposed as an alternative method for the correction of phase offset errors. …
