Optimization of 4D Flow MRI Spatial and Temporal Resolution for Examining Complex Hemodynamics in the Carotid Artery Bifurcation

ConclusionA spatial resolution of 0.74 –1.00  mm3 and a temporal resolution of 23 –48 ms (1–2 k-space segments) provides a 4D flow MRI protocol capable of imaging velocity and TAWSS in regions of complex flow within the carotid bifurcation at a clinically acceptable scan time.
