Evaluation of elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure based on magnetic resonance 4D velocity mapping: comparison of visualization techniques.

Evaluation of elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure based on magnetic resonance 4D velocity mapping: comparison of visualization techniques.

PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance phase contrast imaging (PC-MRI) allows non-invasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and estimation of elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) based on vortical motion of blood in the main pulmonary artery. The purpose of the presen...
