Abstract
The case of an 8-year-old girl with atrial septal defect and associated anomalous pulmonary venous return is presented to illustrate the advantages of four dimensional flow (4D flow) over the current two dimensional flow (2D flow) in terms of time efficiency, easy planning, accurate and individual quantification of the blood sources contributing to the left-to-right shunting from one single acquisition, internal validation of flow measurement accuracy, possibility of reanalysis without rescanning in case of unexpected findings during the postprocessing, and comprehensive understanding of flow insight by use of particle tracing visualization.
