Abstract
Wall shear stress (WSS) has been suggested as a potential biomarker in various cardiovascular diseases and it can be estimated from phase-contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC-MRI) velocity measurements. We present a parametric sequential method for MRI-based WSS quantification consisting of a geometry identification and a subsequent approximation of the velocity field. This work focuses on its validation, investigating well controlled high-resolution in vitro measurements of turbulent stationary flows and physiological pulsatile flows in phantoms. Initial tests for in vivo 2D PC-MRI data of the ascending aorta of three volunteers demonstrate basic applicability of the method to in vivo.
