Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Healthy male or female, without cardiovascular and pulmonary medical history and without the use of medication for cardiovascular risk factors. - Age between 20-30 year or 65-75 years old - Willingness to undergo a 4D flow MRI scan and US examinations - Informed consent form understood and signed, and agrees to the hospital visit.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) of any of the excipients in Sonovue. - Pregnancy - MRI exclusion criteria (such as presence of pacemaker, cerebral vascular clips, claustrophobia).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Velocity vector data derived from bST, echoPIV and 4D flow MRI examinations at the CA and SFA will be used to calculate and visualize the spatiotemporal blood flow velocity profiles to assess the performance of the two VFI techniques compared to 4D flow MRI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Velocity vector data derived from bST and echoPIV at the CA and SFA will be used to calculate and visualize the spatiotemporal blood flow velocity profiles to assess the correlation between both VFI techniques. - Velocity vector data obtained with the bST, echoPIV and 4D flow MRI measurements at the CA and SFA will be used to calculate blood flow derived parameters, such as vector complexity, vorticity and WSS. These parameters will be compared between the different techniques and 4D flow MRI. - Spatiotemporal blood flow velocity profiles and blood flow derived parameters obtained at the CA and SFA using bST, echoPIV and 4D flow MRI will be compared between young and older healthy volunteers (group 1 and group 2). - Spatiotemporal blood flow velocity profiles derived from the bST data obtained at the CA by observer 1 and observer 2 will be used to assess the inter-observer variation. - Spatiotemporal blood flow velocity profiles derived from the bST data obtained two times at the CA by observer 1 will be used to assess the intra-observer variation.
