Echocardiography is the most available and safe method to study hemodynamics parameters in patient with Aortic Coarctations, however, is operator dependent, pressures are over-estimated. Catheterization is the gold standard, but is invasive, non-exempt of risk and patient have to be exposed to x-ray. New methods need to be developed to obtain hemodynamic parameters no invasively, however developing these methods from patient imaging data is difficult. In this work we have built a realistic MR compatible thoracic aortic phantom to simulate different grade of stenosis, which can be used to validate hemodynamic parameters obtained from PC- MRI data under controlled experiments.
