Operational costs of four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance: A break-even analysis
Long scan times and high resource utilization limit the financial viability of 4DF outside of high-volume academic medical centers. Further development of accelerated 4D flow imaging techniques and expanded reimbursement criteria are needed to enable wider clinical adoption.
