A 1D MR sequence has been developed for determining aortic flow wave velocity (WV), a metric of arterial compliance, within a single cardiac cycle. Studies were carried out on the thoracic aortas of 10 normal volunteers. Correlative WV data were also acquired from each subject using a conventional p

β¦ Synopsis
A one-dimensional time-of-flight MR sequence, having a total acquisition time of approximately 60 ms, has been employed to determine flow-wave propagation velocities for pulsatile flow in compliant latex tubes. The results were compared with those of two independent methods and were found to be in good agreement. An extension of the same MR method was used to test the validity of the "water-hammer" relationship as a means to assess pulse pressure. Very good agreement was found with direct manometric determinations of pulse pressure.

## Abstract A MR method is presented for measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) and its application to assessing stiffness in the human thoracic aorta. This oneβdimensional (1D) flow displacement method applies a single RF comb excitation to the vessel, followed by an oscillating frequency encoding gr
## Abstract A magnetic resonance imaging projective velocity encoding sequence was used to determine the pulseβwave velocity in an artery model. To this end, a wellβdefined flow phantom simulating flow propagation in large arteries was used. In order to validate the measurement method in the presen
A noninvasive method for measuring the aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in a single heartbeat is introduced. The method sinusoidally tags a column of blood within the vessel, and rapidly acquires a series of 1D projections of the tags as they move (in practice, 64 projections at 4-ms intervals). Fro
