(A), a volume rendered morphological 3D view. (B) 2D phase contrast image of the aortic blood. (C) Alignment of the 2D slice in (B) into the 3D flow volume. In-plane flow of the 3D flow acquisition is described by a green color component. (D) Same slice as in (C) showing the through-plane components of the 3D flow acquisition in blue/red. (E) Flow curves from the 2D flow scan in (B) and the aligned slice from the 3D flow scan in (D). Abbreviations: AA: Ascending Aorta. DA: Descending Aorta. PA: Pulmonary Artery.
