Validation of blood flow partitioning in 4D phase contrast CMR measurements using lagrangian coherent structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Intracardiac blood flow measurements using 4D Phase Contrast CMR (4D PC-CMR) may contain useful information about cardiac pumping. Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is a new, operator-independent method which can simplify analysis by partitioning the flow into regions with different origins and destinations. Since LCS are operator-independent, they may be used to define quantitative indices of intracardiac blood flow. The partitioning has not previously been validated against particle tracing in 4D PC-CMR blood flow.

Intraindividual validation of 4D flow measurement against 2D flow measurements in aortas with bicuspid or tricuspid valves by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
Background Theoretically, blood flow in the ascending aorta of patients with helical flow patterns, as in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV), are underestimated by routine two dimensional (2D) phase contrast velocity encoding (PC-VENC). Four dimensional (4D) PC-VENC is theoretically not influenced by flow patterns. Hence, both, 2D PC-VENC and 4D PC VENC should result in similar blood fl...
متن کاملPhantom validation of 4D flow: independent validation of flow velocity quantification using particle imaging velocimetry
Background 4D phase contrast magnetic resonance blood flow measurements (4D PC-MR) is a promising tool for clinical assessment of cardiac function, but lack of independent validation may limit clinical adoption. Previous validation studies are limited by lack of pulsatility [1,2] or by the need of a post hoc correction factor to compensate for differences in experimental setup between 4D PC-MR ...

BACKGROUND Peak velocity measurements are used to evaluate the significance of stenosis in patients with transposition of the great arteries after the arterial switch operation (TGA after ASO). 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides 3-directional velocity encoding and full volumetric coverage of the great arteries and may thus improve the hemodynamic evaluation in these patien...

Background The vortex ring formed in the left ventricle (LV) of the human heart during early diastolic inflow (corresponding to the Doppler E-wave) contains information about the normal and pathophysiologic aspects of diastole. Previous studies suggest that the volume of the vortex ring is an important characteristic of vortex ring formation. However, due to lack of quantitative methods, vortex...

Background Time-resolved three-dimensional phase contrast CMR (4D flow) is a powerful tool for hemodynamic assessment in the cardiovascular system. However, long scan times have hindered the application of the method in many cases. By using spiral readout trajectories, improved efficiency provides a means of reducing scan times without decreasing SNR. Furthermore, spiral acquisition offers incr...
