Abstract: | The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of cine phase contrast (PC) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for the peak blood flow measurement of the coronary sinus. Conventional PC imaging demonstrated the coronary sinus clearly and the significantly higher peak flow compared with the corresponding values measured with breath-hold fast cine PC imaging techniques at end-inspiration and end-expiration. This study showed the feasibility of conventional cine PC imaging with respiratory compensation in measurement of coronary sinus blood flow. |
