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 |
