The purpose of this study was an initial evaluation of a
4D-flow workflow consisting of: 1) a ventilator-gated
4D-flow acquisition that leverages the regularity of
respiratory motion provided in these cases; and 2) 4D
flow segementation using a recently developed
co-registered, high resolution, ventilator gated, CE-MRA
technique made possible through the use of an
intravascular contrast agent (Ferumoxytol). These
initial results demonstrate that a workflow consisting
of ventilator gated 4D flow acquisition coupled with
segmentation using the MUSIC MRA sequence made possible
by an intravascular contrast agent is feasible and
provides a straightforward workflow.
