Implication

May simplify coronary flow assessment; leaves open prospective clinical validation.

Key Points

The aim is to describe a new technique for rapid blood flow measurement with high spatial resolution.
Combines phase velocity mapping with echo-planar principles.
Validates two sequence variations in vitro and uses one for in vivo measurements.
Incorporates the technique into a near standard NMR scanner.
The new method shows good comparison with a previously validated slower technique.
The technique allows measurement of sudden changes in blood flow.
It simplifies blood flow measurement in small, mobile vessels like coronary arteries.
