N2 - We propose a new framework for 4D relative pressure map computations from 4D flow MRI that uses enhanced geometric models for the blood vessels and flow-aware surface and volumetric tags. The enhanced geometric modeling provides better accuracy compared to a simple voxelized mask, while tagging of inlets and outlets allows imposing physiologically meaningful boundary conditions, contributing to more accurate pressure computations. An integrated software suite for semi-automatic processing of 4D flow MR images, preparation and computation of the flow parameters is presented. This enables a fast and intuitive workflow, with accurate final results, ready in minutes.
