Flow in the great arteries (aorta, pulmonary artery) is normally laminar with a parabolic velocity profile. Eccentric flow jets are linked to various diseases like aneurysms. Cardiac 4D PC‐MRI data provide spatio‐temporally resolved blood flow information for the whole cardiac cycle. In this work, w...
