Blood Flow Measurement Techniques
! not only blood pressure but blood flow important information
! describes the supply of blood in organs and tissue
! abnormal changes in the blood flow or blood velocity gives rise to malformatuon of vessels
! blood flow Q: volume of blood per time [ml/min]
! perfusion: blood supply in capillary bed [ml/min/100g]
PD Dr. Zöllner I Folie 156 I 9/9/2014
Typical values for blood flow [cm/s]:
Aorta 100 – 250 Abdominal 100 Carotis commuis 80 – 150 Vena Cava 5 – 40

Electromagnetic flow meter
! based on Faraday‘s law of induction
! blood is a conductor of electricity
! can be ‚aligned‘ by external magnet field

MR Blood Flow Measurements (1)
Lotz et al. , RadioGraphics 2002
# spins moving along a magnetic field gradient acquire a difference in the phase (right)
# amount of phase difference proportional to the velocity of the moving spins

MR Blood Flow Measurements (2)
Lotz et al. , RadioGraphics 2002
# flow encoding by means of difference in the bipolar gradients
# acquisition of two images # phase difference by substraction
PD Dr. Zöllner I Folie 166 I 9/9/2014
MR Blood Flow Measurements (3)
Phase difference expressed in formulars:
γ gyromagnetic ratio Δm difference of the first moment of the
gradient time curve ν velocity

MR Blood Flow Measurements (4)
# ΔM relates to the velocity encoding (VENC) # gives sensitivity of measurable velocities # relates to the gradient strength

PC-MR Images
Flow encoding needs an operator defined value:
VENC [cm/sec]
-VENC < v < VENC
# receive 2 images
# magnitude image with velocity
# phase image with velocity and direction
PD Dr. Zöllner I Folie 170 I 9/9/2014
# flow encoding is directional
# depends on the gradient axis applied
# therefore: 3D flow measurements possible in each voxel

RAS, Secondary Hypertension, etc.
Parameters to detect status: ! Flow reduction ! Flow velocity ! Kidney size ! Overall and split renal
function
! RAS leading cause for secondary hypertension " CKD
! Reduced flow triggers auto-regulation of systemic circulation
! Loss of renal parenchyma in the stenosed kidney
! Microangiopathy in the contralateral kidney
Allow for stenosis grading and better selection of patients for PTA

Example - Acquisition Protocol
ECG gated PC cine MR sequence with:
! TE=4ms, TR=37ms, FA=30°
! VENC=100 cm/s
! ca. 20 images / cardiac cycle
! Resolution 0.5 x0.5 mm
! Slice thickness 6mm

Clinical Interpretation of Flow Profile
Schönberg et al. , Radiology 1997
# 4 section within RR interval
# Systolic peak (I)
# Incision (II) followed by midsystolic peak (III)
# Diastolic phase (IV)
