Blood flow is a significant factor in MR imaging. The purpose of this investigation was to study fluid-mechanical effects on MR imaging. MR images generated by the pulsatile flow of bovine blood in an elastic model of the aorta with both renal arteries were studied. The high-frequency pulse sequence was synchronized to an ECG trigger signal. It was demonstrated that different flow velocities, laminar and turbulent flow, and backward flow can be visualized with MR imaging.
