Abstract
A method is disclosed for phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comprising: acquiring phase contrast 3D spatiotemporal MRI image data; inputing the 3D spatiotemporal MRI image data to a three-dimensional spatiotemporal convolutional neural network to produce a phase unwrapping estimate; generating from the phase unwrapping estimate an integer number of wraps per pixel; and combining the integer number of wraps per pixel with the phase contrast 3D spatiotemporal MRI image data to produce final output.
