Abstract

We report a new pure phase encoding measurement for velocity mapping. Velocity-sensitization is achieved using a repeating, linearly ramped gradient waveform instead of rectangular bipolar pulsed field gradients. This approach reduces eddy current effects and results in the sample experiencing a gradient waveform that more closely matches the ideal input. Errors in k-space mapping and calculated velocity values are reduced when contrasted with the previous measurement method. Velocity maps were acquired of high-speed (c. 6 m/s) water flow through a pipe constriction. The application of linearly ramped gradient waveforms to non-velocity-encoded imaging measurements is discussed.
