摘要：
Quantitative aortic magnetic resonance (MR) blood flow imaging is a rapidly advancing technique that is likely to impact clinical medicine in the near future. The acquisition of comprehensive 4D velocity datasets is now possible in a clinically acceptable time frame. Unique and intuitive visualization methods are available. A number of important hemodynamic biomarkers can be derived from the data, and exploited to help understand how abnormal flow is inter-related with aortic pathology. Initial data suggest that some of the derived biomarkers can refine the clinical assessment of aortic disease and predict disease progression. We provide an overview of aortic imaging with emphasis on how flow imaging is currently used, discuss the fundamental technical aspects of multidimensional MR flow imaging, introduce key hemodynamic markers, and show how this type of imaging may soon be used for the early identification of patients at risk for the development of potentially devastating aortic complications. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
