The MRI-FLOW analytical software package supports the objective and reproducible measurements over a full cardiac cycle in an automated fashion in typically less than 10 seconds of processing time. Especially for the greater arteries the quantification of blood flow requires accurate delineation of the vessel borders in each of the time frames acquired during the MR acquisition. In many cases it is not practical or not even possible to carry out an accurate analysis of the MR velocity data on the console of the MR imaging system. MRI-FLOW Fig 2. MRI-FLOW Key Benefits FLOW supports the automated contour detection of the vessel borders in each time frame of the study.
FLOW provides objective and reproducible velocity, flow and derived data.
FLOW functionality is independent of the MRI equipment vendor. FLOW has been validated by the leading MRI expert in the world. The software package FLOW has been developed for the quantitative analysis of velocity-encoded cine MR imaging studies. Automated contour detection is available for detection of vessel borders in each time frame within the MR study. In less than 10 seconds, the automated contour detection tracks the motion and deformation of a vessel contour over the cardiac cycle.
