It is disclosed a method and a device for measurement of a flow in an object, especially a lumen or a vessel, comprising: generating a temporal sequence of images of the object; determining reliability maps, whereas a reliability map corresponds to an image of the object. Another exemplary embodiment is a method and a device for calculating flow parameters (13), comprising: comparing (15) of a predicted image of a flow (16) with an image of a flow (17) with respect to a reliability map (18) of an image of the flow; and adaptation (12) of the predicted flow (16) with respect to the result of the comparing (15). Furthermore, it is described a computer program having instructions recorded thereon in order to execute one of the above-mentioned methods.
