This
study describes the phasic temporal flow profiles of blood flow of the RCA as
measured at different specific lung pressures. Mathematical modelling was
able to identify significant changes in phasic temporal flow profiles when no
statistically significant differences in flow where detected. Clinically
relevant additional information may be gained by using higher temporal and
spatial PC-MRI blood flow measurements of the RCA as progressively more
information is identified within the phasic temporal flow profiles of blood
flow.
