Figure 5

Example patient flow curves from an aortic flow measurement. Example images are seen (top) with indication of ROI placement. The two curves are from a free-breathing (multiple averages), high SNR acquisition in the middle and from a parallel imaging rate 4, breath-hold acquisition on the bottom. The gray shaded area around the flow curves indicate the 95% (1.96 * σ) confidence interval (CI) predicted by the proposed method and the error bars indicate the 95% CI measured from 100 pseudo replica reconstructions. The free breathing acquisition has very low noise and very tight CIs and a zoom of the curve has been inserted to illustrate the agreement between the proposed method and the pseudo replica technique.
