- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To determine the feasibility of high framerate CEUS in deep arterial<br /><br>structures, in this case the distal aorta, to obtain blood flow velocities over<br /><br>the longitudinal section of the vessel lumen. If feasibility is proven a<br /><br>patient study will be planned, including patients treated for AIOD.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Correlation of high speed CEUS with MRI phase contrast data to validate the<br /><br>obtained results<br /><br>Determine near wall accuracy of obtained velocities.<br /><br>Determine needed amount of contrast to obtain good quality data</p><br>
