## Abstract Our purpose was to correlate atherogenic low wall shear stress (WSS) and high oscillatory shear index (OSI) with the localization of aortic plaques. Flow‐sensitive four‐dimensional MRI was used to acquire three‐dimensional blood flow in the aorta of 62 patients with proven aortic athero
