## Abstract ## Purpose To verify whether wall shear stress (WSS) can be assessed in a reproducible manner using automatic model‐based segmentation of phase‐contrast MR images by determination of flow volume and maximum flow velocity (Vmax) in cross‐sections of these vessels. ## Materials and Meth
## Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease that leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart failure. Noninvasive methods are needed to detect changes in the pulmonary artery circulation during PAH establishment and/or treatment. Pulmonary blood flow v
Objective: To validate Doppler measurement of superior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity as a measurement of superior mesenteric artery blood flow. Method: The superior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity, measured by the Doppler ultrasound technique, was validated with simultaneous measuremen
