4D flow MRI with full coverage of the heart and proximal vessels is a powerful tool to understand hemodynamic pathology arising from congenital heart disease (CHD) and subsequent surgery; however, scan times often exceed 10 minutes thereby limiting widespread adoption in pediatrics. Decreasing scan time using compressed-SENSE (CS), a combination of conventional parallel imaging (SENSE) and randomized spatial undersampling, shows promise over SENSE alone. However, both the feasibility and its effect on accurate flow quantification in pediatrics has not been evaluated. This study investigated the feasibility of CS for pediatric 4D flow MRI to quantify flow indices used in risk stratification of CHD such as coarctation or pulmonary regurgitation, in comparison with SENSE.

The application of compressed SENSE MR imaging technique can help in reducing the acquisition time for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The present study was conducted to compare the acquisition time, diagnostic efficacy, and image quality of the newer compresses sense 3D-MRCP (CS-3D-MRCP) with conventional 3D MRCP (C-3D-MRCP) in children with pancreatitis.
