Three-dimensional, time-resolved (4D) relative pressure mapping using magnetic resonance imaging.

چکیده
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.

Hemodynamic Measurement Using Four-Dimensional Phase-Contrast MRI: Quantification of Hemodynamic Parameters and Clinical Applications
Recent improvements have been made to the use of time-resolved, three-dimensional phase-contrast (PC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is also named four-dimensional (4D) PC-MRI or 4D flow MRI, in the investigation of spatial and temporal variations in hemodynamic features in cardiovascular blood flow. The present article reviews the principle and analytical procedures of 4D PC-MRI. Vari...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a Four-Dimensional Respiratory Phantom for Studying Tumor Movement in Radiotherapy with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: In radiation therapy, determining the location of the tumor accurately during irradiation is one of the most important requirements. However, lung tumors are not fixed in a single location and move during irradiation due to respiratory motion. Due to limitations in assessing such movements, using a lung phantom can be useful and operational for their fast, easy an...
متن کامل4D magnetic resonance velocity mapping of blood flow patterns in the aorta in young vs. elderly normal subjects.
Four-dimensional magnetic resonance MR velocity mapping was developed to study normal flow patterns in the thoracic aorta using time-resolved cardiac gated three-directional velocity data. Sixteen normal subjects were studied, one young group (average age 31 years) and one group with elderly people (average age 72 years). Blood flowed in a right-handed helix from the ascending aorta to the aort...
متن کاملTime-resolved angiography: Past, present, and future.
The introduction of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 1980 provided a method for real time 2D subtraction imaging. Later, 4D magnetic resonance (MR) angiography emerged beginning with techniques like Keyhole and time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics (TRICKS) that provided frame rates of one every 5 seconds with limited spatial resolution. Undersampled radial acquisition was subseque...
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...
