Phantom validation of 4D flow: independent validation of flow velocity quantification using particle imaging velocimetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 and reference imaging [3]. Therefore, we aimed to validate 4D PC-MR velocity measurements with particle

In-Vitro Validation of Phase Contrast MRI in a Stenotic Phantom Under Steady Flow Using PIV
Introduction: Blood flow dynamics has an important role in atherosclerosis initiation, progression, and thrombosis leading to occlusive arterial diseases [1]. Since the development of Phase Contrast MRI (PC-MRI), it has been widely used to measure the velocity and flow in blood vessels. Accuracy of the PC-MRI velocity measurements in a 1.5T scanner has previously been evaluated using Laser Dopp...
متن کاملAccuracy of flow measurement with phase contrast MRI in a stenotic phantom: where should flow be measured?
Methods Herein, a series of detailed experiments are reported for validation of MR measurements of steady and pulsatile flows with stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) on three different stenotic models with 50%, 74%, and 87% area occlusions. Mean inlet Reynolds number was 190 for both steady and pulsatile cases, mimicking the flow of the human common iliac artery. Axial PC-MRI images...
متن کاملAccuracy and limitations of vector flow mapping: left ventricular phantom validation using stereo particle image velocimetory
BACKGROUND The accuracy of vector flow mapping (VFM) was investigated in comparison to stereo particle image velocimetry (stereo-PIV) measurements using a left ventricular phantom. VFM is an echocardiographic approach to visualizing two-dimensional flow dynamics by estimating the azimuthal component of flow from the mass-conservation equation. VFM provides means of visualizing cardiac flow, but...

متن کاملVortex-ring mixing as a measure of diastolic function of the human heart: Phantom validation and initial observations in healthy volunteers and patients with heart failure.
PURPOSE To present and validate a new method for 4D flow quantification of vortex-ring mixing during early, rapid filling of the left ventricle (LV) as a potential index of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS 4D flow mixing measurements were validated using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) in a phantom setup. Controls (n = 23) and heart failure patients (n =...
