Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: We compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of pulsatile flow velocity in a small tube phantom using different spatial factors versus those obtained by intraluminal Doppler guidewire examination (as reference).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We generated pulsatile flow velocities averaging about 20-290 cm/sec in a tube of 4 mm diameter; we performed phase-contrast cine MRI on pixels measuring 1.00(2)-2.50(2) mm(2). We quantified spatial peak flow velocities of a single pixel and a cluster of five pixels and spatial mean velocities within regions of interest enclosing the entire lumen in the phantom's cross-section. Finally, we compared the measurements of temporally mean and maximum flow velocity with the Doppler measurements.
RESULTS: Linear correlation was excellent between both measurements of spatial peak flow velocities in one pixel. The highest spatial resolution using spatial peak flow velocities of a single pixel allowed the most accurate MRI measurements of both temporally mean and maximum pulsatile flow velocity (r = 0.97 and 0.99, respectively: MRI measurement = 0.95x + 8.9 and 0.88x + 24.0 cm/s, respectively). Otherwise, MRI measurements were significantly underestimated at lower spatial resolutions.
CONCLUSION: High spatial resolution allowed accurate MRI measurement of temporally mean and maximum pulsatile flow velocity at spatial peak velocities of one pixel.
