## Abstract Intracardiovascular blood pressure differences can be derived from velocity images acquired with phase‐contrast (PC) MRI by evaluating the Navier‐Stokes equations. Pressure differences within a slice of interest can be calculated using only the in‐plane velocity components from that sli

✦ Synopsis
In this study, pressure gradients measured with 4D phase contrast MRI were compared to those measured with Doppler ultrasound in patients with aortic coarctations. We found good agreement between these methods as well as good correlation between pressure measurements and degree of stenosis.

## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate rest and exercise hemodynamics in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and peripheral occlusive disease (claudicants) using phase‐contrast MRI. ## Materials and Methods: Blood velocities were acquired by means of cardiac‐gated cine phase‐contrast in
This study investigated the correlation between changes in hepatic and systemic hemodynamics and femoral blood flow (FBF), measured by dual-beam pulsed wave Doppler, in 58 portal hypertensive patients receiving propranolol(O.15 mg/Kg intravenously; n = 44) or placebo (n = 14) under double-blind cond
