Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiac and vascular diseases. Since its introduction in the late 1980s …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance has been utilized in the management and care of
pediatric patients for nearly 40 years. It has evolved to become an invaluable tool in the …

Background Diseases of the descending aorta have emerged as a clinical issue in Marfan
syndrome following improvements in proximal aorta surgical treatment and the consequent …

Abstract Four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI has emerged as a powerful non-invasive
technique in cardiovascular imaging, enabling to analyse in vivo complex flow dynamics …

Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging is an emerging technique which may
play a role in diagnosis and risk-stratification of aortic disease. Some knowledge of flow …

Objective The aim was to investigate scan–rescan reproducibility and observer variability of
segmental aortic 3D systolic wall shear stress (WSS) by phase-specific segmentation with …

Background Helices and vortices in thoracic aortic blood flow measured with 4D flow
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have been associated with aortic dilation and …

Objectives 4D flow MRI-derived variables from Marfan patients are highly heterogeneous.
Our aim was to identify distinct Marfan patient subgroups based on aortic 4D flow MRI and Z …

Objective Patients with tetralogy of Fallot are at risk for late aortic complications due to
progressive aortic root dilation and decreased aortic compliance. Early repair normalizes …

Objectives Degenerative thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) patients are known to be at risk of
