Abstract:
An MRI image processing and analysis system may identify instances of structure in MRI flow data, e.g., coherency, derive contours and/or clinical markers based on the identified structures. The system may be remotely located from one or more MRI acquisition systems, and perform: perform error detection and/or correction on MRI data sets (e.g., phase error correction, phase aliasing, signal unwrapping, and/or on other artifacts); segmentation; visualization of flow (e.g., velocity, arterial versus venous flow, shunts) superimposed on anatomical structure, quantification; verification; and/or generation of patient specific 4-D flow protocols. An asynchronous command and imaging pipeline allows remote image processing and analysis in a timely and secure manner even with complicated or large 4-D flow MRI data sets.

Claim (Index 26):
The processor-based device of  claim 25  wherein to compute an angle between an average velocity over all of a plurality of time points and a vector that connects a centroid of the respective voxel with a centroid of an anatomical structure, the at least one processor computes the angle between the average velocity over all of the plurality of time points and the vector that connects the centroid of the respective voxel with the centroid of a heart.
