title: MR imaging of model fluid velocity profiles.
abstract: A projection MR technique for imaging the velocity profiles of moving fluids has been applied to various steady flow models designed to simulate a variety of flow conditions. From such profiles can be readily deduced peak velocities, volume flow rates, information concerning the degree of flow development, features such as flow separation, and estimates shear stresses at the vessel wall.
