The goal of this paper is to inform about the 4D Flow sequence, its advantagesand disadvantages. 4D Flow examination allows to assess flow rate and otherflow parameters in the volume of interest retrospectively. However, it isexpensive in terms of time and postprocessing. An in-house software may benecessary, as commercial programs remain costly. They offer a number offunctionalities and data corrections. Their segmentations tools, however,remain relatively limited. Low spatial resolution and long data acquisitionare the primary limitations of the sequence.

Keywords: 4D Flow, aorta, phase contrast
