Abstract and Methods: time-resolved CT, computational fluid dynamics and particle tracking distinguish six atrial flow components. Figure 7 compares flow components with volumetric indices.
Methods, Flow Component Analysis, Figure 1: residual volume remains over two tracked cardiac cycles; retained inflow has entered during the preceding cycle and remains. The paragraph immediately after Figure 1 explains why summed component volumes need not equal maximum atrial volume and lists candidate normalization denominators.
