Fermi function constrained deconvolution underestimates myocardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion reserve regardless of saturation correction of arterial input curve
Background Myocardial blood flow (MBF) can be quantified from arterial input function (AIF) and myocardial output function in perfusion MRI by using tracer kinetic modeling. Fermi function constrained deconvolution has been widely used to determine MBF and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR). However, stress MBF and MPR in healthy subjects quantified by the Fermi deconvolution approach were repo...
متن کاملCorrecting T2* effects in the myocardial perfusion arterial input function avoids overestimation of myocardial blood flow
Background Quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging requires correct measurement of arterial Gd concentration as the input function (AIF). An underestimation of AIF Gd concentration will lead to overestimation of myocardial blood flow (MBF). One source of this underestimation is the T2* effect due to high Gd concentration in the AIF measurement. Despite the short echo time (0.65 ms) used in th...
متن کاملInfluence of the Arterial Input Function on Absolute and Relative Perfusion-Weighted Imaging Penumbral Flow Detection
Background and Purpose—Perfusion-weighted imaging maps are used to identify critical hypoperfusion in acute stroke. However, quantification of perfusion may depend on the choice of the arterial input function (AIF). Using quantitative positron emission tomography we evaluated the influence of the AIF location on maps of absolute and relative perfusion-weighted imaging to detect penumbral flow (...
متن کاملMYOCARDIAL BLOOD FLOW Quantification of regional myocardial blood flow in vivo with H 2150
Using H,15O (half-life = 2.1 min) we demonstrated that a modification of the tissue autoradiographic approach permitted quantitation of myocardial blood flow in open-chest dogs by direct assay of myocardial tissue and that noninvasive estimation with positron-emission tomography (PET) delineated relative myocardial blood flow in intact dogs. ln open-chest anesthetized dogs, the single-pass extr...
متن کاملQuantification of Myocardial Blood Flow Using Microbubbles
Ultrasound can cause microbubble destruction. We hypothesized that ultrasound induced microbubble destruction can be used to quantify myocardial blood flow. in viva experiments were performed where microbubbles were delivered as a constant infusion, and ultrasound examination was performed using different pulsing intervals from which microbubble velocity and microvascular cross-sectional area w...
