Key result
MPI flow analysis toolbox successfully estimates flow patterns in an aneurysm phantom.
Why the study?
Assessment of flow parameters is a common tool in cardiology to screen for or evaluate cardiovascular diseases, requiring advanced analysis methods.
A novel Flow Analysis Toolbox for Magnetic Particle Imaging successfully extracts quantitative 4D velocity vector fields to estimate flow patterns in an aneurysm phantom model.
Phantom success of MPI flow toolbox; leaves open translation to in vivo aneurysm assessment.
Assessment of flow parameters provides insight into (patho-)physiology and thus is a common tool in the field of cardiology to screen for or to evaluate and stage cardiovascular diseases. In this work, we present a Flow Analysis Toolbox for Magnetic Particle Imaging datasets highlighting pulsed tracer information. The presented tool uses time as well as frequency signal processing approaches and exploits an Optical Flow analysis to extract quantitative 4D velocity vector fields. In this work, we successfully estimate flow patterns in a nonrealistic aneurysm shaped vessel phantom exploiting pulsed tracer information by means of an easy-to-use Flow Analysis Toolbox.
