In Vitro Validation of 4D Flow MRI for Local Pulse Wave Velocity Estimation
Conclusion4D Flow MRI is a feasible method for estimating local PWV in simplein vitro models and is a viable tool for clinical analysis. In addition, choice in transit-time algorithm depends on flow waveform shape and arterial region. This study strengthens the validity of 4D Flow MRI local PWV measurement in simple models. However, this technique requires validation in more complex models before it is usedin vivo.
