Abstract

PURPOSE: Despite the great potential and flexibility of 4D flow MRI for hemodynamic analysis, a major limitation is the need for time-consuming and user-dependent post-processing. We propose a fast four-step algorithm for rapid, robust, and repeatable flow measurements in the great vessels based on automatic placement of measurement planes and vessel segmentation.
