The purpose of this study was to quantify both cerebral arterial inflow using 4D flow and cardiac outflow with 2D phase-contrast MRI and investigate the age dependence of changes in total cerebral arterial flow in relation to aortic flow in a cohort of 40 normal subjects with ages from 7 months to 60 years. The results demonstrated age-related changes in both cerebral and aortic blood flow as well as changes in their relationship, indicating the importance of age-controlled control groups for the detection of abnormal hemodynamics in neurovascular diseases (e.g. cerebral arteriovenous malformations, vein of Galen malformations, intracranial atherosclerotic disease).
