Optimal Plane Selection for Measuring Post-prandial Blood Flow Increase within the Superior Mesenteric Artery: Analysis Using 4D Flow and Computational Fluid Dynamics.

CONCLUSION: SMA velocimetry with 2D cine PC-MRI was dependent on the localization of the measurement planes. Distal straight section, not in the curved mid section is recommended for MR velocimetry.
