Cardiac 4D Flow Analysis Pipeline

Pipeline: Cardiac 4D Flow Analysis

Type: Cardiac

Description: This pipeline analyzes data acquired during cardiac 4D flow MRI

Source: Northwestern Department of Radiology

Details:
This pipeline is designed for semi-automated processing of data acquired in 4D flow cardiac MRI. The pipelines uses a mask file to mask pre-processed data, which can then be analyzed. The initial goal is to skeletonize the aorta and its major branches, draw a draw a midline down the vessels, and measure the diameter throughout the aorta. Each patient has at least two scans on different dates, so the growth rate of the aorta can be calculated from these diameter measurements.
