Atherosclerotic plaque burden and local elastic
parameters such as the local pulse wave velocity (PWV)
are distributed inhomogeneously along the diseased blood
vessels. Therefore it is important to not only detect
elastic parameters at one location but to examine the
distribution of elastic properties along the entire
vessel. The QA-method allows the quantification of the
local PWV at one particular location based on
PC-CINE-MRI measurements. Using a k-t BLAST technique,
we could significantly accelerate the data acquisition
and thus realizing the quantification of the local PWV
at 10 different sites along the murine aorta in one
experiment.
