abstract = {To develop a phase-contrast (PC) -based method for direct
and unbiased quantification of the acceleration vector field
by synchronization of the spatial and acceleration encoding
time points. The proposed method explicitly aims at in-vitro
applications, requiring high measurement accuracy, as well
as the validation of clinically relevant
acceleration-encoded sequences.A velocity-encoded sequence
with synchronized encoding (SYNC SPI) was modified to allow
direct acceleration mapping by replacing the bipolar
encoding gradients with tripolar gradient waveforms. The
proposed method was validated in two in-vitro flow cases: a
rotation and a stenosis phantom. The thereby obtained
velocity and acceleration vector fields were quantitatively
compared to those acquired with conventional PC methods, as
well as to theoretical data.The rotation phantom study
revealed a systematic bias of the conventional PC
acceleration mapping method that resulted in an average
pixel-wise relative angle between the measured and
theoretical vector field of (7.8 ± 3.2)°, which was
reduced to (-0.4 ± 2.7)° for the proposed SYNC SPI method.
Furthermore, flow features in the stenosis phantom were
displaced by up to 10 mm in the conventional PC data
compared with the acceleration-encoded SYNC SPI data.This
work successfully demonstrates a highly accurate method for
direct acceleration mapping. It thus complements the
existing velocity-encoded SYNC SPI method to enable the
direct and unbiased quantification of both the velocity and
acceleration vector field for in vitro studies. Hence, this
method can be used for the validation of conventional
acceleration-encoded PC methods applicable in-vivo.},
