Low variability can be achieved for aortic strain and PWV measurements in a multicenter trial setting using standardized MRI protocols. Although COV was lower when measuring aortic strain at DDA compared with AA, variability was acceptable at both anatomic locations.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.
