title: Validation of V-SS-PARSE for single-shot flow measurement.
abstract: As a variant of Single-Shot Parameter Assessment by Retrieval from Signal Encoding, Velocity Single-Shot Parameter Assessment by Retrieval from Signal Encoding, a single-shot imaging method, has been developed to realize fast and straightforward flow quantification by solving inverse problems. A robust signal model, including its local magnetization and its phase evolution during signaling (resulting in a more precise representation of the sampled signal) is described here. Magnitude, velocity, relaxation rate and frequency information can be retrieved without any extra reference image acquisitions, as demonstrated by phantom studies. In the presence of stationary background, retrieved magnitude maps and velocity maps show results comparable to those obtained by phase-contrast methods (r>.99, P=.005), even with brief single-shot 70-ms acquisition.
