The proposed compressed sensing based algorithm for velocity-encoded phase contrast MRA combines an incoherent interleaved undersampling pattern in both velocity-encoding and temporal dimension with a flow-adapted temporal resolution. High undersampling factors are supported while preserving the contrast and temporal resolution. Results are compared with state-of-the-art Grappa and Sense methods and the fully sampled reference.
