Non-invasive assessment of mesenteric hemodynamics in patients with suspected chronic mesenteric ischemia using 4D flow MRI

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare disease with a particularly difficult diagnosis. In this study, 4D flow MRI is used to quantitatively evaluate mesenteric hemodynamics before and after a meal in patients suspected of having CMI and healthy individuals.Nineteen patients suspected of CMI and twenty control subjects were analyzed. Subjects were scanned using a radially undersampled 4D flow MR sequence (PC-VIPR). Flow rates were assessed...
