A review of cardiovascular clinical and research applications of MRI phase-contrast velocity
imaging, also known as velocity mapping or flow imaging. Phase-contrast basic principles …

Modern rapid magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have led to widespread use of
the modality in cardiac imaging. Despite this progress, many MR studies suffer from image …

Users and manufacturers of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) systems have,
potentially, an unrivalled asset. Phase contrast mapping of velocities through planes …

Aims To develop and validate a non-invasive method for measuring myocardial iron in order
to allow diagnosis and treatment before overt cardiomyopathy and failure develops …

Background In cardiac syndrome X (a syndrome characterized by typical angina, abnormal
exercise-test results, and normal coronary arteries), conventional investigations have not …

BACKGROUND Helical and retrograde secondary flows have been recorded in the aorta,
but their origins and movements in relation to the arch have not been clarified. We set out to …

A method for determining flow by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging is described.
A conventional spin-echo imaging sequence is employed with the addition of balanced …

Through cardiac looping during embryonic development, paths of flow through the mature
heart have direction changes and asymmetries whose topology and functional significance …

Background—Measurement of myocardial iron is key to the clinical management of patients
at risk of siderotic cardiomyopathy. The cardiovascular magnetic resonance relaxation …

A technique for measuring blood flow by whole body nuclear magnetic resonance is
described. This method uses imaging gradient profiles that combine even echo rephasing …
