Excerpt

Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) can be used to assess valvular heart diseases. It can also measure pulmonary-systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) and help identify intracardiac shunts. However, phase offsets in PC-MRI caused by main field inhomogeneity and eddy-current introduce baseline offset errors in flow quantification and hence Qp/Qs. This error can be corrected by surface-fitting [1] or using a separate phantom acquisition [2]. A recent study found that the phantom acquisition method did not help reduce error of Qp/Qs [3]. This study compared the effectiveness of the two baseline correction methods in reducing phase errors when measuring Qp/Qs in healthy volunteers using PC-MRI. …
