Description
Summary:[Display omitted] ► Flow MR images are now acquired routinely on timescales of 100ms. ► Acquisition times can be as short as 5–10ms. ► Flow MRI of transient systems is now possible. ► Sparse sampling, parallel imaging and signal enhancement can increase imaging speed. ► Future opportunities in merging sparse sampling, parallel imaging and hyperpolarisation. The past five years have seen exciting new developments in Flow MRI. Two-dimensional images are now routinely acquired in 100–200ms and, in some cases, acquisition times of 5–10ms are possible. This has been achieved not only by advances in the implementation of existing pulse sequences but also in data acquisition strategies, such as Compressed Sensing and Bayesian approaches, and technical advices in parallel imaging and signal enhancement methods. In particular, the short imaging timescales that are now achieved offer significant opportunities in the study of transient flow phenomena.
