Article Synopsis
- Time-resolved 3D cine phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D flow CMR) is a method used to analyze blood flow, but it can be affected by various confounders like field strength and scanner configurations.
- This study involved 19 healthy volunteers who underwent 4D flow CMR at four different sites, with measurements taken from the thoracic aorta and the entire heart to assess the impact of these confounding factors.
- Results indicated that while some parameters showed good inter-site reproducibility (e.g., in the ascending aorta), others had significant discrepancies, particularly at Site IV, highlighting the need for standardization in 4D flow CMR measurements.
