Value CMR: Towards a Comprehensive, Rapid, Cost-Effective Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 4

2D phase-contrast and 4D-flow imaging in large arteries. Representative 2D phase contrast (PC) images and flow curves (a, b) and the corresponding 4D-flow maps and curves (c, d) at different measurement sites of the aorta (a, c) and pulmonary artery (b, d). The images show good agreement between flow curves by the two techniques, in addition to the extra information and (pathlines, velocity, and pressure maps) provided by 4D-flow acquisition. AAo: ascending aorta; DAo: descending aorta; PA: pulmonary artery.
