Dynamic simulation of first pass myocardial perfusion MR with a novel perfusion phantom
Methods Our MR-compatible phantom resembles the anatomy of the heart and of the thoracic vessels of a 60 kg subject. Water flow (2-4 l/min) is driven into the system by a pump located outside the MR room. Gadolinium injections (Gadovist, gadobutrol, Bayer Schering, Germany) are performed in the vena cava by a power-injector (Medrad Solaris, Germany). Progressive dilution of the Gadolinium bolus...
متن کاملSteady-state first-pass perfusion (SSFPP): A 3D TWIST in myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging
A new approach to myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging is presented; this technique, called SSFPP, is based on 3D SSFP sequence whereby magnetization is maintained in constant steady-state, while data acquisition is gated to diastole. This results in high SNR and CNR, and other characteristics that can potentially mitigate dark rim artifacts. The high-blood myocardial contrast of SSFP allows...

Figure 3: (left) First-pass perfusion images in a mouse with myocardial infarction. (right) Signal intensity-time curves extracted from three different ROIs. At time ‘A’, a lower rate of contrast agent uptake was seen in the infarcted myocardium, followed by a period of delayed-enhancement ‘B’. Figure 2: (top) Typical first-pass perfusion images in a healthy mouse. (bottom) Signal intensity-tim...
متن کاملSystolic 3D first-pass myocardial perfusion MRI
Introduction: First-pass myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is now an established tool for the assessment of ischemic heart disease, and the most widely used protocols involve 2D multi-slice acquisition. Three-dimensional (3D) MPI is potentially advantageous due to its contiguous spatial coverage and high SNR [1], and has been recently shown to be more accurate than 2D multi-slice techniques in...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
