Patients with aortic dilation often exhibit eccentric
transvalvular flow jets. The angle of the flow jet from
the aorta centerline (FJA)has been reported as a risk
factor for aortic dilation in bicuspid aortic valve
patients. The objective of this study was to develop and
apply a new algorithm for the semiautomatic evaluation
of FJA using a 3D jet shear layer structure based on 4D
flow MRI data.
