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

A modified version of the flow-area (QA) method for measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) from CMR images is introduced. The new 'flow-time-area' (QTA) method is more robust to errors in area measurements than the QA method, which is mathematically proved and demonstrated in pulmonary hypertension stu
## 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
