Popis: Volumetric phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging with three-dimensional velocity encoding (4D flow MRI) has shown utility as a non-invasive tool to examine altered blood flow in chronic liver disease. Novel 4D flow MRI pulse sequences with spatio-temporal acceleration can mitigate the long acquisition times of standard 4D flow MRI, which are an impediment to clinical adoption. The purpose of our study was to demonstrate feasibility of a free-breathing, spatio-temporal (k−t) accelerated 4D flow MRI acquisition for flow quantification in abdominal vessels and to compare its image quality, flow quantification and inter-observer reproducibility with a standard respiratory navigator-gated 4D flow MRI acquisition. Ten prospectively enrolled patients (M/F: 7/3, mean age = 58y) with suspected portal hypertension underwent both 4D flow MRI acquisitions. The k−t accelerated acquisition was approximately three times faster (3:11 min ± 0:12 min/9:17 min ± 1:41 min, p
