Highly accelerated compressed sensing 4D flow MRI in congenital and acquired heart disease: comparison of aorta and main pulmonary artery flow parameters with conventional 4D flow MRI in children and young adults.

For both the aorta and main pulmonary artery, compressed sensing 4D flow provided equivalent net and forward flow values compared to conventional 4D flow but underestimated peak systolic velocity. By reducing scan time, compressed sensing 4D flow may decrease the need for anesthesia and increase scanner output without significantly compromising data integrity.
