Validates MRI velocity mapping for normative pulmonary artery metrics in volunteers; extends imaging research but leaves open clinical validation.
Does magnetic resonance imaging with cine velocity mapping accurately characterize anatomy, flow, distensibility, and pulsatility of the central pulmonary arteries in healthy volunteers?
MRI with velocity mapping provides accurate non-invasive characterization of anatomy, flow, distensibility, and pulsatility in the central pulmonary arteries.
Paz et al. (1993) studied this question.
