Table 4. Summary of the limitations of 4D flow.

Limitations of 4D flow
   Acquisition
    Patients with metal implants are not suitable
    The best location to accurately measure flow parameters is controversial
   Postprocessing
    Postprocessing and the analysis consume time and labor
    The accuracy of blood flow estimation is affected by user experience
   Accuracy
    Cannot reliably quantify blood flow when heart cycles are erratic
   Time and space resolution
    The spatial resolution and quality are relatively low
   Literature support
    Long-term follow-up research is lacking
