Summary of wave intensity analysis methodology. a. Cardiovascular MRI, central image display mapping scan for the left and right (operative and non-operative) pulmonary arteries with cross section of each artery displayed on either side. b. Flow Q and area A plots generated after analysis of pulmonary artery. c. Wave intensity (dQ×dA) is plotted by the blue line with the forward compression wave area (FCW; purple) and backward compression wave area (BCW; green) highlighted with calculation of wave reflection index (WRI) demonstrated. Indicative images from patient in study.
