Three-dimensional, time-resolved (4D) relative pressure mapping using magnetic resonance imaging.
We describe here a method for generating relative pressure maps from magnetic resonance velocity data in three spatial and one temporal dimension (4D). The relative pressure map calculated for pulsatile flow in a compliant phantom was shown to be consistent with independent pressure transducer measurements. The feasibility of performing 4D pressure mapping in vivo is also demonstrated.

Objective To prospectively evaluate our hypothesis that three-dimensional time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (TR-MRA) is able to detect hemodynamic alterations in patients with chronic expanding aortic dissection compared to stable aortic dissections. Materials and Methods 20 patients with chronic or residual aortic dissection in the descending aorta and patent fal...
متن کاملClinical Investigation Diagnosis of Thoracic Aortic Dissection Magnetic Resonance Imaging Versus Transesophageal Echocardiography
Background. Aortic dissection requires prompt and reliable diagnosis to reduce the high mortality. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of both ECG-triggered magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography combined with color-coded Doppler flow imaging (TEE) for the diagnosis of thoracic aortic dissection and associated epiphenomena. Meth...
متن کاملVolume Tracking: A New Method for Visualization of Intracardiac Blood Flow from Three-Dimensional, Time-Resolved, Three-Component Magnetic Resonance Velocity Mapping Appendix: Theory and Numerical Implementation
This document describes the theory and technical details of Volume Tracking, a new method for visualization of flow measured using four-dimensional phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC-MRI) [1]. Volume Tracking provides a new visual impression of the flow compared to particle tracing, the most commonly used method for visualization of 4D PC-MRI data. Volume Tracking uses a novel for...
متن کاملVolume Tracking: A new method for quantitative assessment and visualization of intracardiac blood flow from three-dimensional, time-resolved, three-component magnetic resonance velocity mapping
BACKGROUND Functional and morphological changes of the heart influence blood flow patterns. Therefore, flow patterns may carry diagnostic and prognostic information. Three-dimensional, time-resolved, three-directional phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D PC-CMR) can image flow patterns with unique detail, and using new flow visualization methods may lead to new insights. The aim...
