The British journal of radiology·2010

This study introduces a rapid, high-resolution blood flow measurement technique combining phase velocity mapping and echo-planar imaging. This advanced NMR method allows for detailed study of blood flow dynamics in small vessels, like coronary arteries.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Medical Imaging
  • Cardiovascular Physiology

Background:

  • Accurate blood flow measurement is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring cardiovascular diseases.
  • Existing methods for blood flow imaging often lack the speed or spatial resolution required for dynamic studies.
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) offers non-invasive imaging capabilities but requires optimization for flow quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel technique for rapid, high-resolution blood flow measurement using MRI.
  • To assess the feasibility of integrating this technique into standard NMR scanners.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the method for in vivo blood flow assessment, particularly in small, mobile vessels.

Main Methods:

  • Combined phase velocity mapping with echo-planar imaging principles for rapid data acquisition.

  • Developed and tested two sequence variations.
  • Validated the technique in vitro and demonstrated its application for in vivo blood flow measurement.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved high-resolution echo-planar flow measurements with a minimal number of echoes (as few as 16).
    • Demonstrated successful in vivo blood flow measurement using one of the sequence variations.
    • Results compared favorably with previously validated, slower methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed technique enables very rapid and high-resolution blood flow quantification.
    • This method can be integrated into near-standard NMR scanners, enhancing accessibility.
    • The technique holds significant potential for studying dynamic flow changes and improving imaging of small, mobile vessels like coronary arteries.
