The flow offset analysis method. The mean phase offset over the smaller 30 mm diameter circle, which represents a typical "great vessel" ROI, was calculated for all positions of such ROIs with their centres located up to 50 mm from the isocentre of the magnet (up to 70 mm for MPA planes). The largest ROI value found was taken as the 'worst case' result for that plane of acquisition. All image planes passed through the isocentre. In this example, the largest error was found in the mean ROI positioned at the lower edge of the search region.
