Arterial stenosis (narrowing) is due to vascular disease that, if untreated, leads to death. The stenosis causes the development of complex flow which results in high energy losses and great forces between blood and tissue. Traditionally, turbulent flows lead to signal loss in magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisitions, resulting in loss of diagnostic information. With the advancement in MR hardware and software, some of the limitations of MR in turbulent flow fields may have been reduced or eliminated. This study evaluated the potential of MR phase velocity mapping (MRPVM), a clinical velocimetry technique, under turbulent flow conditions such as those …
