Figure 2 Phase-shift mapping image of stenosed left pulmonary veins with overlay of velocity curve. Velocity phase mapping again shows flow acceleration (increasing darkness of flow signal) arising from the left upper and lower pulmonary veins (solid arrows). The velocity cursor (labeled 1) is located at the maximal velocity point. Graphic display of velocity is shown in cm/s.
