Optimized analysis of blood flow and wall shear stress in the common carotid artery of rat model by phase-contrast MRI

Abstract The present study systemically investigated the influence of gated/non-gated sequences, velocity encoding (VENC), and spatial resolution on blood flow, wall shear stress (WSS), and artery area evaluations when scanning the common carotid artery (CCA) in rats using phase-contrast magnetic re...
