Movie 2.
Higher spatial resolution T1w-MR image of the haemolymph flow in the BVs detected by the IntraGate MRI. Changes in the image intensities of the ventricle, the right auricle, the right AOV, the right efferent BVs (BV-ILOD and BV-OLID), and the right efferent BVs (BV-OLOD and BV-ILID) at 2 mm anterior from the AV valve were measured and shown in Fig. 6. Four cardiac cycles are presented at 5 frames.s−1.
