Phase-contrast flow measurements in cardiac MRI are clinically useful for quantifying shunts and evaluating valve disease. Following specific guidelines ensures this quantitative method is reliable and precise for medical applications.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular imaging and diagnostics
- Medical physics and biomedical engineering
Context:
- Phase-contrast (PC) MRI is a widely adopted technique in cardiovascular imaging.
- Its clinical utility is established for assessing various cardiac conditions.
Purpose:
- To highlight the established clinical applications of PC flow measurements in cardiac MRI.
- To emphasize the importance of adhering to specific protocols for accurate results.
Summary:
- PC flow measurements are valuable for quantifying intracardiac and extracardiac shunts.
