Abstract

System and method for analyzing changes in a fluid flowing through a conduit, including defining at least one coordinate within said conduit, said conduit having a first plurality of slices, receiving at least one known value for at least one property of the fluid, measuring said fluid using magnetic resonance, determining at least one image from the measured fluid, the at least one image having a second plurality of slices for said at least one coordinate, determining a second set of values for said at least one property of said fluid, comparing the first set of values and second set of values for said at least one property to determine a difference value, checking deviation of the determined difference from a predetermined value for said fluid, and issuing an alert if the deviation is not substantially zero.
