Abstract

Quantitative evaluation of image processing algorithms for angiography images can only be approached using synthetic images, where the true geometry of vessels is known. This requires both simulation of flow and evolution of magnetization due to flow. The chapter begins with introduction of flow phantoms presented in a computational perspective. Since the main goal is to understand the evolution of magnetization in PC-MRA, and also because computational models for flow simulation of viscous fluids such as blood are well established, we have excluded their description from the contents of this chapter. The rest of this chapter mainly focuses on the two main methods used for estimation of flow induced magnetization.
