Abstract

The purpose of this study was to review and illustrate various clinical applications of phase-contrast MRI. Cardiac MRI has emerged as a valuable noninvasive clinical tool for evaluation of the cardiovascular system. Phase-contrast MRI has a variety of established applications in quantifying blood flow and velocity and several emerging applications, such as evaluation of diastolic function and myocardial dyssynchrony.
