We investigated whether endothelial-dependent arterial constriction during reduced shear can be measured using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PCMRI). A cross-section of the femoral artery was acquired during a 5-minute distal occlusion in 33 subjects. Systolic shear rate and radius were measured from the velocity profile via a best-fit parabola. Systolic shear rate decreased immediately after cuff inflation (404 ± 78 to 233 ± 75 sec− 1p < .0001). Radius decreased at 2 min into inflation (3.52 ± .41 to 3.43 ± .42 mm, p < .0001). In conclusion, arterial constriction during reduced flow can be measured using PCMRI. This new method may add important information toward a comprehensive evaluation of endothelial function.
