Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiovascular disease. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, 2 …

Advances in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease (CHD) have
resulted in a growing population of patients surviving well into adulthood and requiring …

Background Doppler echocardiography (echo) is the reference standard for blood flow
velocity analysis, and two-dimensional (2-D) phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging …

In patients with a functionally univentricular heart, the Fontan strategy achieves separation of
the systemic and pulmonary circulation and reduction of ventricular volume overload …

Objectives To comprehensively and quantitatively analyse flow and vorticity in the right heart

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and functionally univentricular
heart defects represent the most severe end of this spectrum. The Fontan circulation …

Purpose The measurement of velocities based on phase contrast MRI can be subject to
different phase offset errors which can affect the accuracy of velocity data. The purpose of …

Multidimensional blood flow imaging with magnetic resonance has rapidly evolved over the
last decade. The technique, often referred to as 4-dimensional (4D) flow, can now reliably …

Imaging-based evaluation of cardiac structure and function remains paramount in the
diagnosis and monitoring of congenital heart disease in childhood. Accurate measurements …

Background To evaluate the 3D hemodynamics in the thoracic aorta of pediatric and young
