Figure 7

Contrast between qualitative and quantitative grading of pulmonary flow hemodynamic patterns. Although both pulmonary hypertension (PH) cases show similar vortex size and flow strength (velocity), the subject on the right reveals dramatically increased vorticity. Anatomically standardized quantitative flow metrics may be then more sensitive for assessment of flow disturbances observed in patients with PH.
