Comparisons between 2D phase-contrast and 4D-flow volume measurements should consider influences from sequence and physiological differences. A subset of static tissue points may be used with low impact on flow measurements, but should avoid the inclusion of nonstatic tissue and avoid asymmetric distribution. Higher-order polynomial fits are more susceptible to inaccurate static tissue selection.
