An innovative magnetic resonance imaging technique was applied to the measurement of blood flow in the abdominal aorta. The technique combines selective excitation and visualization from an orthogonal view. The distance that fluid has moved is directly visualized. The blood flow velocity at every 50 msec throughout the cardiac cycle was measured in a short time (about 4 minutes) using electrocardiographic gating and repeated excitations in each cycle. Measurements were compared with those obtained by Doppler ultrasound (US) as a reference. The pulsatile change of flow velocity in the cycle correlated well with the Doppler US recording. Two flow velocity indexes, peak flow velocity and the velocity integral, also showed good correlation (r = .98 for both). This method is applicable for clinical use and is useful for measurement of high flow rates, as found in arteries.
