Measurement of the aortic pulse wave velocity in MRI: Comparison of transit time estimators


Aims : This study is a comparison of efficiency between a new transit time estimator (MSeg) for PWV compared with three previous methods.
Δt was defined as the time shift between the flow curves in the ascending and descending aorta and calculated differently according to the method used.
The MSeg estimator resulted in a higher reproducibility, and better correlation of PWV .
