Application of 4D flow in diagnosis of pediatric congenital heart disease / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation.MRI plays an important role in evaluating postoperative cardiac function of CHD.The new technology of 4D flow can be used to encode phase flow coded cine based on 3 vertical dimensions at the same time.Meanwhile,4D flow can perform multi-parameter functional assessments of blood flow vector and peak flow velocity,also can visualize the structure and blood flow of the inner heart and the outer heart.The principle of 4D flow and its application in children with CHD were reviewed in this article.
