Abstract
Application of PCVM to the assessment of aortic flow is useful as part of a routine cardiac MRI functional assessment. PCVM can be performed as either a breath hold (BH) or non breath hold (NBH) acquisition. Some authors have suggested that NBH represents the preferred approach to phase contrast flow assessment. The impact of CMR sequence choice on PCVM of aortic flow in a clinical setting is not known.
Highlights
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is well suited for cardiovascular flow assessment
There was overlap in variation noted between sequences for forward volume measurement when compared to within sequence variation, the regurgitant volumes did not show similar overlap
Smaller within sequence variation was noted with non breath hold (NBH)
