## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate the efficiency of a new method (TTβUpslope) for transit time (Ξt) estimation from cardiovascular MR (CMR) velocity curves. ## Materials and Methods: Fifty healthy volunteers (40 Β± 15 years) underwent applanation tonometry to estimate carotidβfemoral pulse w

## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the feasibility of assessing, noninvasively, aortic pulse pressure (APP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the ascending aorta of young adults by means of velocityβencoded magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. ## Materials and Methods In a series of 11 healthy vol
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
