Pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) complex signal behavior becomes dominated by attenuation rather than oscillation when displacements due to flow are similar or less than diffusive displacements. In this "slow-flow" regime, the optimal displacement encoding parameter q for phase contrast velocimetry depends on the diffusive length scale q s l o w = 1 / l D = 1 / 2 D Δ rather than the velocity encoding parameter v enc = π/(qΔ). The minimum detectable mean velocity using the difference between the phase at +q slow and -q slow is 〈 v m i
