Embodiments can provide a computer-implemented method for simultaneous multi-slice pulse wave velocity measurement, the method comprising simultaneously acquiring a plurality of multiple parallel images slices from a medical imaging device; shifting the plurality of image slices through modulation of the line-by-line phase patterns for each slice in the plurality of slices; deriving a plurality of image waveforms from the plurality of slices; measuring a distance between a plurality of imaging planes corresponding to the plurality of image slices; determining, for each of the image waveforms, a time-to marker; determining the temporal shift by calculating the difference between the time-to markers; and computing the pulse wave velocity by dividing the distance between the plurality of imaging planes by the temporal shift.
