Abstract: 4D Flow MRI is a new phase contrast MR technique,which can spatially encode velocity in three-direction,collect multi-directional blood flow data,and result in complex three-dimensional dynamic parameters.4D Flow MRI is more accurate and comprehensive than 2D phase contrast MRI and Doppler echocardiography.However,4D Flow MRI have some disadvantages,such as long scanning time,noise,etc.,which are the future key technical issues to be addressed.4D Flow MRI technology has a great potential in clinical applications,such as intracranial vascular diseases,cardiac magnetic resonance imaging,and other aspects of aortic diseases.Research advances in clinical application of 4D Flow MRI were reviewed in this paper.
