Real-time flow measurements using echo-planar imaging

Magn Reson Med. 1991 Mar;18(1):1-8. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910180102.

Abstract

The ultra-high-speed echo-planar imaging (EPI) method is combined with velocity encoding prior to EPI read-out, thereby allowing real-time measurement of flow. Results of EPI flow measurement experiments are presented on phantoms and human volunteers.
