This work develops an open-source 4D flow MRI pulse wave velocity tool. With it, data sampling requirements are shown to be reducible by an additional 30% to successfully detect differences between healthy controls and Marfan syndrome patients.
Figure 2. (Animated GIF) Example time-resolved segmentations in subjects from Figure 1, generated automatically through non-rigid registration of phase-contrast MR angiographic images at each cardiac time point to a reference volume. Inset: time-resolved contour in the ascending aorta and resulting flow waveform over 60 cardiac frames.
