Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and
multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has …

Traditionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of flow using phase contrast (PC) methods
is accomplished using methods that resolve single‐directional flow in two spatial …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiovascular disease. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, 2 …

A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method is presented for quantitatively
map** the physical response of a material to harmonic mechanical excitation. The …

Susceptibility differences between tissues can be utilized as a new type of contrast in MRI
that is different from spin density, T1‐, or T2‐weighted imaging. Signals from substances …

Background Phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is able to measure
all three directional components of the velocities of blood flow relative to the three spatial …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is established in clinical practice for the
diagnosis and management of diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, current …

Progress has recently been made in implementing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
techniques that can be used to obtain images in a fraction of a second rather than in …

In-plane phase-contrast (PC) imaging is now a routine component of MRI of regional blood
flow in the heart and great vessels. In-plane PC MRI provides a volumetric, isotropic, time …

Phase contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines the flow-dependent
contrast of phase contrast MRI with the ability of cardiac cine imaging to produce images …
