Development of a graphical user interface and cross manufacturer adaptation of a program for determining the pulse wave velocity in the aorta from phase-contrast magnetic resonance images
Due to the periodic contraction of the heart, a pulse-shaped course of the blood velocity is caused in the aortic system. The speed at which this pulse wave moves is called pulse wave velocity (PWV). Since it depends, among other parameters, on the elasticity of the vascular wall, it can be used cli...
