Investigate the effects of MRI gradient imperfections, particularly eddy currents, on phase-contrast velocity measurements using simplified numerical simulations. Building on existing open-source tools (PyPulseq, MRzero), the methodological aims are to reproduce a published benchmark, evaluate selected MRI sequences, including 2D and 3D radial, using synthetic 2D and 3D flow phantoms, and extend the approach to sequence parameter optimization.
