CV (cardiovascular) system and MRI related queries

AI Thread Summary
Patient-specific MRI can provide information about artery sizing, including length and diameter, but requires careful interpretation. Standard units for artery measurements are typically in millimeters or centimeters. The normal size of the abdominal aorta and iliac bifurcation in adults varies, and specific values can be referenced in medical literature. Cardiologists analyze MRI scans to estimate blood flow and pressure, often using models, especially in cases like Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). It is important for researchers to clarify their objectives to receive targeted guidance and support in their studies.

Hi guys,
I'm an IT student 'and lill favour in my masters research work so please help me to have valid answers for following questions ASAP.
1. Do patient specific MRI contains the information related to artery sizing (i.e its length and diameter) ?
2. What are the standard units used to show artery measurements (mm,cm,m) ??
3. What's the normal size of abdominal aorta and iliac bifurcation in adults ??
4.How do a cardiologist get blood flow and pressure values of a paitent from MRI scans?

It is hard to give you a correct answer. For example, patients with PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) flow estimates are based on models, with a range of "normal" values. The images require interpretation.

Instead of a list of questions, if you can tell us what you want to accomplish (testing for PAD, estimate atherosclerotic damage, locate clots, and so on) we can probably come up with a paper that outlines the things you need to know. There are lots of very informed people on PF.

MRI is basically an imaging technique, so are you planning on analyzing image data? I get the impression that you might be underestimating the difficulty of what you appear to want to do. And some of your questions reflect that to me. And I'm definitely NOT trying to stop you, just help you make the scope of your effort workable.

hello jim ,
thank you so much for guiding me :)
i'm working on pulsatile blood flow and there are two things i wanted to know
1.how do a medical personal (i.e clinician,cardiologiest,radiologiest)analyse MRI scans to get information about patient blood flow rate and pressure.
2.the flow rate and pressure values in normal and diseased human aorta (abdominal and common aliac).

tell me if still giving an impression of being confused to explain the subject ;)

Welcome to the PF.

We do not do your schoolwork/research for you here. You need to show some of your own efforts to answer these questions. Please post links to the reading you have been doing so far on your schoolwork, and ask specific questions about that reading. Thank you.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
