Flow velocity quantification by exploiting the principles of the Doppler effect and magnetic particle imaging

Abstract Changes in blood flow velocity play a crucial role during pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Imaging techniques capable of assessing flow velocities are clinically applied but are often not accurate, quantitative, and reliable enough to assess fine changes indicating t...
