Visualization of hemodynamics in a silicon aneurysm model using time-resolved, 3D, phase-contrast MRI.

چکیده
We performed time-resolved 3D phase-contrast MR imaging by using a 1.5T MR scanner to visualize hemodynamics in a silicon vascular model with a middle cerebral aneurysm. We ran an aqueous solution of glycerol as a flowing fluid with a pulsatile pump. Time-resolved images of 3D streamlines and 2D velocity vector fields clearly demonstrated that the aneurysm had 3D complex vortex flows within it during systolic phase. This technique provided us with time-resolved 3D hemodynamic information about the intracranial aneurysm.

Background Hemodynamic parameters are known to play a crucial role in the growth and rupture of intracranial aneurysms [Appanaboyina IntJNumerMethodsFluids2008]. Flow diverting stents have emerged as an alternative to coiling by using fine meshes to divert flow away from the aneurysm sac to promote thrombus formation and remodeling of the aneurysm while keeping side branches and perforating art...

Introduction Intracardiac flow patterns can be visualized by particle traces obtained from three-dimensional phase contrast MRI. Good results have been shown for stationary [1] and time-resolved data [2]. New off-line retrospective gated 3D phase contrast techniques, providing high resolution time-resolved 3D velocity data, have improved the accuracy of the calculated particle traces [3]. While...
متن کاملWall shear stress vectors derived from 3D PC-MRI at increasing resolutions in an intracranial aneurysm phantom
Background Wall shear stress (WSS) is the friction force that blood flow exerts on the vessel wall. It is thought to affect the function of endothelial cells and the development of atherosclerosis and aneurysms. A promising technique to measure blood flow is three-dimensional phase contrast MRI (3D PC-MRI). Due to limited spatial resolution and SNR, estimating WSS from time-resolved 3D PC-MRI i...
متن کاملMultidirectional flow analysis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in aneurysm development following repair of aortic coarctation
Aneurysm formation is a life-threatening complication after operative therapy in coarctation. The identification of patients at risk for the development of such secondary pathologies is of high interest and requires a detailed understanding of the link between vascular malformation and altered hemodynamics. The routine morphometric follow-up by magnetic resonance angiography is a well-establish...
متن کاملHemodynamics in a giant intracranial aneurysm characterized by in vitro 4D flow MRI
Experimental and computational data suggest that hemodynamics play a critical role in the development, growth, and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. The flow structure, especially in aneurysms with a large sac, is highly complex and three-dimensional. Therefore, volumetric and time-resolved measurements of the flow properties are crucial to fully characterize the hemodynamics. In this study, phase...
