Figure 1 Magnetic resonance imaging of vascular distensibility and diastolic vessel areas. Vessel wall tracings in diastolic (A, solid ellipse) and systolic (B, dashed ellipse) cine steady-state free precession images in the ascending aorta (AA) and proximal descending aorta (PDA). Diastolic images of distal descending aorta (DDA) (C), right common carotid artery (CCA) (D), and right brachial artery (BA) (E) in a rower. IJV = internal jugular vein; PT = pulmonary trunk; SCM = sternocleidomastoid muscle; SVC = superior vena cava.
