Four‐dimensional magnetic resonance MR velocity mapping was developed to study normal flow patterns in the thoracic aorta using time‐resolved cardiac gated three‐directional velocity data. Sixteen normal subjects were studied, one young group (average age 31 years) and one group with elderly people...
