Blood flow imaging becomes an emerging trend in cardiology with the recent progress computer technology. It not only visualizes colorful velocity streamlines but also quantifies mechanical stress on cardiovascular structures; thus, it can provide detailed inspections of pathophysiology diseases and predict prognosis functions. Clinical applications include comprehensive assessment hemodynamics cardiac functions echocardiography vector mapping (VFM), 4D MRI, surgical planning as a simulation medicine computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
