Excerpt
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) provides a powerful method for the quantification of blood velocity. Accuracy of flow measurement with PC-MRI has been validated with several techniques such as Doppler ultrasound and electromagnetic flowmeters. However, these methods suffer from low accuracy, especially in pulsating flows where short response times are required. …
