An in-vitro experimental study comparing derived
relative pressure gradients obtained using a 4D flow MRI
sequence (3 Tesla) with those measured using an
intraluminal fluid-filled pressure catheter readings.
Study utilises a custom-made whole body elastic vascular
phantom with continuous (stead-flow) pumping of a
slippery blood-analogue. Phantom-catheter setup is
assembled to be bubble-free, pre-calibrated (zero-level)
with dynamic 2nd-order (sinusoidal) response. Derivation
of relative pressure change is based on Navier-Stokes
Equations of velocity vector-fields (post-processing) in
a higher special/temporal resolutions. Experiment
results demonstrates the concordant potential in 4D flow
MRI to derive non-invasively intravascular relative
pressure gradients in continuous-flow dynamics.
